I want to learn php, and as I am a complete idiot, I really need some help with getting started.. I have read some tutorials and such, but I just don't seem to be getting anywhere. I have a host that supports php, and I want to use it on my website. I have read that I will have to install php, apache, mySQL and all that on my computer. Is it really necessary to do all that when I am not hosting it myself? Also, I don't know at all what kind of editor to use for making my webpages in php:(.. Help anyone??
