If you have any of problem in PHP then browse this blog.
It will fullfill your desires.
So lets start from History of PHP.
PHP was conceived sometime in the fall of 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf. Early non-released versions were used on his home page to keep track of who was looking at his online resume. The first version used by others was available sometime in early 1995 and was known as the Personal Home Page Tools. It consisted of a very simplistic parser engine that only understood a few special macros and a number of utilities that were in common use on home pages back then. A guestbook, a counter and some other stuff. The parser was rewritten in mid-1995 and named PHP/FI Version 2. The FI came from another package Rasmus had written which interpreted html form data. He combined the Personal Home Page tools scripts with the Form Interpreter and added mSQL support and PHP/FI was born. PHP/FI grew at an amazing pace and people started contributing code to it.
PHP is -----
PHP can be written as scripts that reside on the server and may produce HTML output that downloads to the web browser.
Alternatively, PHP can be embedded within HTML pages that are then saved with a .php file extension. The PHP sections of the page are then parsed by the PHP engine on the server and the PHP code stripped out before the page is downloaded to the web browser
It is difficult to give any hard statistics, but it is estimated that by late 1996 PHP/FI was in use on at least 15,000 web sites around the world. By mid-1997 this number had grown to over 50,000. Mid-1997 also saw a change in the development of PHP. It changed from being Rasmus' own pet project that a handful of people had contributed to, to being a much more organized team effort. The parser was rewritten from scratch by Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans and this new parser formed the basis for PHP Version 3. A lot of the utility code from PHP/FI was ported over to PHP3 and a lot of it was completely rewritten.
PHP works with -----
If you want completely explore PHP and want good result from PHP,use LAMP(Linux,Apache,My SQL,PHP) combination.
However you can work with window but window .....
I think window is not for Developers, so friends use Linux.
You will have to install Linux(OS),Apache(Web server),My SQL(Database Language) and finally your PHP.
What is more important - all are free.
You can get Web Apache Server
My SQL Database Language and
PHP from Web scripting Language
So now lets start with Installtion of these all things.
1. Apache Installation
Installation at Window :-
