Okay..well I've gotten myself a website..and I cant use it! I was able to do most scripting for websites..but not like this. This is more real, you know?

My two questions are this..I've got PHP. What is this, and what can I do with it? Secondly, how do I make pages? It says to put them in the "html" directory. Where do I start? It's in the FTP thingie..So it's not like geocities with a file manager or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys! :)

php is like a programming language.
it allows you create stuff like guestbooks, forums, feedback form scripts, and so forth and so on. kinda like javascript only a lot more powerful.

when you startup your ftp program, you will see a folder called "html". that is your main directory where most of your webpages and stuff should be uploaded into.

I know it has to go there. But where do I put in all my html and stuff? Do I save it in a normal word or notepad thing? And then drop it in there?

Open Notepad, (or any text editor) type your codes, and save it as .html and then just upload it. :)
