You can browse for HTML tutorial in google... you can both code HTML and php in notepad but you need apache to run your php program.
HTML is not a programming language while php is a scripting language.... | |

HTML is a markup language, like SVG. It's not programming per-se, but a systematic way to display data. It's just gotten a lot fancier over the years.
Once you get the basics of HTML down, you'll want to learn how to use CSS or cascading style sheets. Then you can get some really great looking results with minimal work.
PHP, javascript, asp and the like are scripting languages. You can either use them inside a standard HTML based page, or you can actually program the page with the scripting language and have it write the page out as HTML. They're the three main scripting languages for web development and all are quite powerful. |

The site that got me to doing my own HTML coding was http://www.boogiejack.com
His site was not only informative but easy to understand and on the humorous side. I am still learning but have created 2 big websites and I am working on 2 others.

davesite.com, and then html tutorial. To make a website, all you have to know is html. It is really easy to learn, just takes practice. you may want to google "html cheat sheet" i think this will give you a good reference page after you get better | |
