to start with php you need a php installation. you can download one for your OS from PHP: Downloads or use a complete package like WAMP, XAMP or MAMP (WAMP means Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP) because you'll need a server too (in most cases).

if you have issues with a special function/feature, check the PHP: PHP Manual - Manual first (you can call a function entry by PHP: Hypertext Preprocessorfunction-name), that should answer many questions (often the comments provide just the solution you might need).

to start with PHP google for a tutorial. (php tutorial - Google Search)
