Frankly, you'll find it tricky to start learning programming languages on your own, since setting up your computer to run programs you write yourself can be a tricky process.\n\nIf you use Mac OS X, PHP should be bundled. Try to edit a file "test.php" using a basic editor with the following:\n\n<?php\necho "hello world";\n?>\n\nThen open a system shell (gotta know what this is to write programs), navigate to the directory that contains test.php, and type "php test.php"\n\nIf you use Windows, read this - http://php.net/install.windows - to get started, then repeat from where you edit the file. You can edit PHP files using Notepad in Windows, but you have to be sure to select "all files" when you save a file.\n\nFor both Mac and Windows, I recommend JEdit, which is totally free (http://jedit.org)\n\nAbsolutely do not worry about cost when it comes to writing software. The best tools and languages are totally free, including PHP and C++

I use Dreamweaver for getting the basic layout done the way I want it then I hack into it with PHPdev, nice syntax highlighting MDI text editor.\n\nAs far as I know (and I am prepared to be wrong here) the are no visual editiors (ala VB or Delphi) for PHP at the moment.

"How Do I make a web page," if a very general question. I'm very young and yet very interested in this subject: Web Designing/Creation/Enginnering.  I've gone through many html (HyperText Markup Language, If you don't have the slightest idea what this is please read a book, or take a class so you can even think about web pages) editors, but all stink. All these editors do is make a WYSIWYG environment , and then later turn it into raw html code. If you use Microsoft FrontPage you'd understand what I'm talking about. Now There are two main and better than anyother html editors which can also create other types of webpages (PHP, SQL, XML, SHTML, etc) 1)Microsoft Frontpage and 2)Macromedia Dreamweaver. If you want to go hardcore and like to figure out perplexing things, go with Dreamweaver, I've you want to go with a great and easier to use editor go with Frontpage. I work Frontpage cause I'm to lazy to figure out Dreamweaver.  But let me tell you, Frontpage is easier, better, and a lot cheaper. With Frontpage you can manipulate raw html (webpage) code or the WYSIWYG Environment and more. But if your a beginner who is easily confused and you don't understand what I've written, go to your public library and take out "The dummies guide to creating webpages."\n\n  Once you get your website created with a html editor ask another question and I'll help you get set up with your own website domain name and all.\n\n\nHope I was helpful,\n\nrnc505\n\nP.S. All my sites below will help you.

What do you think?\nDon't get me wrong, I use PHP everyday since Thats what I use.\n\nASP.NET is enriched with stuff you could do. For bigger Entreprise development ASP.NET will help you succeed quicker faster and efficient. The IDE makes it all good as well.\n\nLook what ASP.NET has to offer... Millions of controls to just drag and drop, Portability within Ohter Languages like C#/ JAVA / C++ and beyond using interop, and what not.\n\nASP.NET is only on windows, but the mono project in Linux can run them :) ASP.NET is the best to work in a group of teams since it is the most extensible.\n\nFinally ASP.NET is made from Microsoft and they allow students to use it for FREE, and let corporations pay money if they are using it. Users who want to use and and practice can download the IDE Expres Edition easily.\n\nASP. has nice AJAX control called ATLAS.NET which makes doing ajax applications SO EASY and Object oriented. It is onyl tags. No javascript. Like <atlas>....</atlas>\n\nPHP is new, it is just a scripting language. that you can't incorporate a real program within. PHP is weak in object oriented design. \n\nPHP has no sence of standardizations. Variables can be instantiated on the fly withought any declarations. The scope is too high.\n\nPHP has no shortcuts and many users don't be aware of the security issues if you program bad.\n\nBUT PHP is opensource, free, and portable. PHP can do a job right quickly. (same as perl). PHP can allow you to create a full site within minutes.\n\nYou use PHP to do webdev, it can get a little slow some times. PHP is great for small stuff, when the project gets bigger it can lose focus.\n\nI recommend you to use EJB or .NET for webapplications if the project is expanding.\n\nThe new emerging technology is RUBY ON RAILS. Which is a new way to do object oriented Web development or standard dev which is amazing. Take a look at that.\n\nI think PHP will stay how it is today and die slowly. Nothing has been improved within PHP for the past years except more oo design. But thats my 2cends

PHP is a open source. Same goes to to MYSQL. IF your search in google or Yahoo. You can find a lot of sample and if you going to consult some expert, you can go to their forum.\n\nInfact there are a lot of ready-made function available for download. And it's Free.\n\nExample: http://www.php.net , http://www.phpbuilder.com , phpnuke.org/, www.devnetwork.net, http://www.phpfreaks.com\n\nBut some professional from web design company also provide services to that example http://www.doinfinity.com

The sources that imisidro gives above are all good (except the keyword density tool which is useless).  The problem is, as you say, that most sources are confusing and a little overwhelming. Not only that but the forums in particular will often contain conflicting advice, misinformation and always have a high proportion of 'noise'.\n\nThere are however two reliable and up to date resources, both from experts and designed for those just starting out on the SEO discovery. They are http://www.seomoz.org/beginners.php and http://www.seo-blog.com/tutorial.php\n\nAnd one last piece of advice, please remember there are no shortcuts in SEO and it is actually quite hard work!\n\nGood luck!

What you can do is create this using flash which seamlessly integrates with PHP. I personally don't have much experience in this type of web application, but I did manage to find several scripts that you could look into for creating this system.\n\nI have included the link below. I hope these serve your purposes.\n\nEnjoy!

PHP (PHP HyperText Pre-processor) is a scripting language whose syntax is similar to C/C++.  HTML and PHP are two different worlds.  In order to run PHP, you need to use a server (Usually Linux/Unix...most hosting services are this way) that supports PHP (They all pretty much do).  Next, you must take some tutorials about PHP.  I recommend a good book, or just some web tutorials. http://www.w3schools.com is a good source for just about anything.  \n\nPHP is free and fairly simple to learn.  It is very powerful and stable.  PHP can dynamically generate your HTML if you want it to.  This is usually a good idea when displaying large numbers of records retrieved from a database (But that's in the future;-).  Using a simple tutorial, you should have a working PHP page in minutes.  Good Luck!

On the PHP Site (php.net) there's a PHP 5.1.1 Installer. This will automate the install of PHP. But, before you do this, you'll need to install IIS, go to the page below, it walks you through the whole process. Good Luck.

The best way to get this done is to hire someone to build it for you.  For 20-30 pages, deploying PHP-Nuke seems to be an overkill; plus, you'll have to integrate payments into it...
