PHP is a scripting language. C is a programming language. A complex and abstract one. Of course, there are a lot of common concepts so learning PHP will help you understand C better than learning it from scratch, but depending on your needs you will have to explore new stuff either way you want to go (C/PHP/etc).

Yeah...right now I am focused on PHP. I have some quick questions.

1. To program in PHP on my computer (I use windows and installed PHP 5.2.5) do I need a web server installed to write and/or test my PHP code to see if it works?

2. MySQL - the same question as the one above?

If you use an IDE, you do not need an Webserver to test PHP Scripts, but I'd recommend it though. You could use xampp or some other out of the box webserver kit for testing.

Local Apache server with PHP and MySQL and lots: xampp
Free Code Project editor: Eclipse
Good to have fastish editor with syntax colouring: Notepad++


I havent used Eclips yet, but Matonor might hint you on modules and stuff or hint me at least, below? ;)

There are two PHP Projects for Eclipse: PDT and another one I just remember hearing of. I only used the first one so far and it works great.
