What do you mean by programming stuff?
You can download PHP here.
You then need to install it on your server, then you can start coding.

w3schools has some good PHP tutorials and so does tizag.

Steve,
one of the first things I tried, was figuring out php and sql...not I am told the easiest thing. That being said, I was also told to download XAMPP. It is put out by the Apachefriends group and is free. You get php, phpadmin, sql, and the apache server. It is relatively easy to set up because they have excellent help documents and a forum for questions. I use it primarily for the Apache server to test my site on my own computer before uploading. I also have done some database work with mysql and even tried a few sql statements. I have found it very helpful. Perhaps you will do the same...and it saves on trying to configure PhP and sql onto a stand alone Apache server.
