Hi!

It depends on your preference. Some people write PHP code using WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors such as Dreamweaver, but if you prefer you can simply write it in Notepad and save it as a .php file. I personally use Notepad++ - it's very basic like Notepad, but it also highlights the syntax of the code to make the structure clear. It has a few handy tricks too. And it's free!

If you have installed WAMP, then your PC should be able to process the PHP files itself, so you can preview the site on your PC. But it takes a bit of experience to configure WAMP properly, so for now you may find it easier to register for a free web hosting account, and upload your PHP files and MySQL databases onto that and try it on there.

w3schools.com do some really good intros into writing PHP. Give it a go, it's a really nice language.

Feel free to ask me any more.

Will
