luvtopost,

I wish you all the best in your pursuit of PHP and MySQL.

This thread has yielded some very good points for the beginner in PHP.
Another editor I would suggest you check out is jEdit (
http://www.jedit.org ). It is written in java and runs on almost any
platform that has java installed. It supports plugins and there are a
lot of very useful ones available for download.

One more thing, in my early days of programming, I got a lot of support
from the #php channels on a couple different IRC networks ( undernet,
dalnet, etc ). Most of regulars in those channels were very helpful to
me.
