well there are about a million tutorials on php. Maybe you can grab a
book, or sign up for an safari <http://safari.oreilly.com> account
Another good reference is the php site http://www.php.net/manual/en/
There are tons of code snippets and explanations about what each function
does.
here is a quick sample php script.
<?php
$myusername="Joe Blow";
echo "<html><body>";
echo "<h1>" . $myusername . "</h1>";
echo "</html";
?>
