Editing php files is the same as editing a HTML file except you need to know the PHP code to make it work. I suggest searching google for some basic php tutorials to get you going.
If you need to know what a php command does, search the www.php.net site or go to www.php.net/function replacing "function" with the actual function name you want help for.

I tryed that already. I did a search on google.com and didn't come up with any thing I could use. Thats why I'm posting in this forums area. I have no idea what the php commands are or where to get a list. I have and did find some. It's just they are very basic part. I also downloaded 85megs of samples of PHP. I just don't under stand the commands or how to use them.
As as far as I know front page is used to make the lay out of the page. I just haven't been able to get the page to load and not just the code.
Thanks
Just extra help would be great. |

You should ask yourself if you actually need PHP or not. If you do then go ahead with the tutorials but if not, then there isnt much point in trying until you do need it.
Try this site:http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/php
It helped me get into PHP.

| It sounds like you don't need PHP at all, and instead should learn HTML. Try HTMLgoodies.com for a bunch of tutorials. If you edit html pages with a editor such as dreamweaver or frontpage, you can "get what you see". |

See the only pages I have are all in PHP. The software that I run lets me setup file areas. forum areas and lots more options that I can add. So changing over to some thing else is a NO NO. The program requires and uses PHP and html. The creater of the pages I just chated with last night. He has plans to change the forums from php to html and PHP. that way I can edit the lay outs of my pages and add new options. The only thing I have to teach my self is php.
