Starting to learn php

Now that I have a handle on what kind of web hosting service to use, and a rough idea of the page flow, I need to figure out how to code it. While stumbling I ran into an attractive form builder called MachForm. I am not sure if I will use that. It allows you to pretty quickly build forms and store info in mysql.

From there I found that they use shareit to manage their payments. I will probably use pay pal initially if needed and later switch to credit cards if the volume demands it. I also found that the bbpress software they use is amazing in the cleanliness of its interface. I downloaded bbpress and checked out the php code.

Essentially this is what I have concluded. Most web pages are just html. The PHP tags in the html can be used to generate html dynamically. The php program can be independently complete.
