I had the same problem and found the site and installed PHP, it was very

easy. I also installed MySql.

I have been programming in Visual Basic for the past 2 years but I still

chose PHP. It is a nice language and, as you say, not too difficult. The

support groups are helpfull and since it is free, the ISP's don't ask for

lot's of money to offer php as a service. AFAIK, php can be installed on an

Apache Server, Xitami and PWS and version 4 is expected to support more

types of servers, including

Microsoft's IIS.
