[ale] asp user learning php?

[Lightner, Jeff]

I have a friend that does web design using asp that wants to start going the open source route.

He specifically asked me about learning php and I have loaned him an O’Reilly book that talks about php, MySQL and one other thing as well as my Apache book.   I had those but really don’t do web design myself.

Are there any good recommendations for what to look at to get up to speed on php if one is used to asp?

Specifically he’d asked me if there is a design environment like that for asp so he doesn’t have to do everything in text editors.   Since I’m not familiar with asp I’m not sure what environment he is speaking of but thought someone on this list might.

I’m not asking for someone to Google for this – I’m asking people that know both ways of doing things what resources they’d recommend.
