I need some basic info on PHP

I am just getting started. I have zero experience with PHP or anything related. I barley can use HTML. How in the world do I get this off the ground? How am I sure my server supports PHP? I know it supports asp is there any similarities? I use Netobjects Fusion to maintain my site.

So I guess my first question is how do I make this required ad_network.php file?

thanks

 

here is a start to php http://us2.php.net/tut.phpasp indicates windows hosting good ones do have php support.
If your host supports php the example will work.
Php file by default end in .php

Basically both asp and php allow generation of dynamic pages the advantage of php is it's platform independent.

Oh and welcome to the formu

create a file text file, in my example called phpinfo.php and upload
it to your server with chmod 755, the file should contain these line

<?
phpinfo();
?>

Code (markup):

execute this file from your web-browser replacing appropiate values.

http://yourdomain.com/somepath/phpinfo.php

Code (markup):

If you have PHP installed you will get a nicely formatted page saying a lot about your PHP, Apache and more. Refer to these
values when you program in PHP
