1) You can use any text editor you want. There are some that offer syntax highlighting. Like Dreamweaver, PHP Designer, EditPad Pro.
2) To run PHP on localhost, you are going to need a server (Apache is a popular one) and you are going to need to download PHP from http://www.php.net. There are also all-in-one solutions for localhost testing (Xampp, AppServe) thoes are not suggested for commercial use.
3)a PHP enabled server is a server that has php on it.
here are some tutorials to start you out:

Thank you dclamp.
I installed PHP. Last of the installation process, it massaged to configure manually. How can I Configure it?
What distribution did you install? With xampp its usually configured for you.
All in one packages are not recommended as they are generally less secure and occasionally behave oddly.
What was the message?
Yes but considering he has just started PHP less configuration wopuld be a benifit? Surely?
Well there is hardly any actual configuration required to get a standard zip install of PHP running and it is much better to learn with that.
I think I understand; you've used the installer. I am not familiar with it as I always use and recommend the zip package.Quote:

But what can i do with it now?
you should now download Apache server.
WHY are you downloading PHP 4? Can you not see there is a newer version. Its called PHP 5. Download the ZIP package.Quote:

You will be here till christmas if you want php,mysql,phpmyadmin manually etc, I agree with ILMV all-in-one FTW. I've had countless problems trying to get them all to work together, xampp can have it running in 2mins. I've used it for ages now, had no problems, one tip: dont set php and mysql as a service unless you want to run it 24/7, xampp gives you a control panel to turn php,mysql etc on or off when you want, which reduces security risks.

i have tried, and then i failed. i think it is very hard.
but i would only suggest the all-in-on if you are using it localy for testing.
Follow visualAd's tutorial from the sticky FAQ thread. I personally don't see how it is hard.
If it is the first time you have done it you need to set down for a couple of hours, familiarise yourself with the configuration files and be prepared to start over a couple of times.
Once you have done it once it will be a breeze next time. Anyone who takes till Christmas installing it needs to consider a brain transplant.
I think i will take a look a that. Because now my computer wont run the all-in-on programs :P. how much does a brain transplant cost, just so i know before i begin.Quote:

I tried to find the compare between Apache and IIS. but I got a lot of learger reports. I can not make disition.
Now I want to know Is it matter of coading which server I use?
or after I done my coading I can use it with Apache or any application server.
