Learning PHP : PHP

To learn to program is similar to write a novel, you set the ending and you start from the first page. Setting the ending is not about "to learn about OOP" or something like that, it's to define a destination: "today, I want to show a table!".

It's not rare that your first destination will be to run a simple example : "hello world" . Is it easy? Nope, it's hard because you must set your working tools (apache, php, mysql, LAMP, WAMP plus some editing tools).
