Don't really know where to start but PHP is a server side language. Which means it gets parsed on the server side then the result is displayed on the user's browser. PHP stands for Hypertext PreProccessor. Have you tried PHP.net?

I hope a little self-advertisement is okay, if not, I apologize. I wrote this for someone a few days back, hope you find it useful.

I recommend php.net as a great place to start. It better than any book you'll pick up...

Go there now and browse the site. Its massive but it should give you a good idea of php and its uses...
