And how to I put this up on the net? As I've noticed it don't really work on my emutalk.net account :(

The server needs to have PHP support. You only have to upload the *.php files to the webserver and they're ready to be accessed. As for testing the php code on your own machine, I have used EasyPHP, it is an apache server with php support, which is very simple to install on your computer.

http://www.wampserver.com/en/index.php - download the package from here. It installs Apache 2.2.4, PHP 5.2.4 + PECL, SQLitemanager, MySQL 5.0.45 and PhpMyAdmin.

You could install each component separately but I usually hit a problem with some config file along the way.

meh using dreamweaver doesnt learns you to code properly,
use a tutorial ( http://www.tizag.com/phpT/ ) and use a wamp server package like the one above.

I would suggest getting a simple text editor with code highlightning.

Again I know this is a few weeks old or more.

QFt, too bad Wamp kills my network/internet connection in Vista forcing me to reboot , but it's a godsend to avoid a configuration nightmare if you don't know how to edit the PHP.ini, httpd.conf on your own. Although I can edit everything on my own I downloaded and installed Wamp so I could get everything set up quicker to test some things out.;)
