Hi Kenny
I was the same way it took me time to just understand what thing meant but I got through it.
First thing to remember is the PHP is server side scripting meaning it need to be on the server to be parse
First thing you want to know is the difference between variables and arrays and scalars
Once you can understand this the rest should fall into place for you.
This site is excellent for get help and www.webmonkey.com has great tutorials
Hope this get you going on the to programming in PHP it fun and exciting to do
