What exactly IS php and what can I do with it?

For example I am looking to start developing small business sites for individual companies. Would something like this be of benefit to me? Can php help with the layout and design, such as navigation, graphics, illuminated buttons on mouse click? Or would this be better done with Flash?

 

What are my choices for editors starting off with absolutely no experience and where can I begin to learn?

 

You see I see ALOT of information out there but to me it's still alot of Jargon ... ... I don't know where to begin...

PHP is a server-sdie programming language usually used to interact with other applications (databases, mailservers etc) on the server. It has many posibilities, but all are server side.

 

It simply outputs strings (text), in a web environment these strings are normally html (used to format web pages).

 

So, in answer to some of your question. No, PHP is not really related to the design of your site, all that needs client side code.
