My server just incorporated PHP (and MySQL). I really need to take
advantage of this. How can I start learning to use these features?

Keep in mind that it would be a good idea to install both on your local
machine for dev and test.

First- decide on what it is that you would like to do.
Next- search for methods on how to do it.
Browsing is ok, but when you start looking for info, know what it is that
you want to do and you will have an easier time of it. If you just browse
for ideas, you may feel like you are not getting anywhere at all. Have a
purpose in mind when you start searching for info.

Below is reference about using Frontpage to work with PHP web:

TITLE: FP2003: Working with PHP files in FrontPage




BEHAVIOR/SYMPTOMS:
====================
How to work with and modify PHP files using FrontPage.


ENVIRONMENT:
====================
FrontPage 2003
FrontPage 2002
FrontPage 2000

RESOLUTION:
====================
To begin with, PHP is a 3rd-party scripting technology that is not
officially
supported by Microsoft.

That being said, FrontPage can work with a wide range of file types. When
working
with other text-based scripting languages, such as PHP or PERL, you can
simply
define which editor to use when working with PHP files.

To set up FrontPage for an editor, choose the steps listed below for your
version
of FrontPage:

FP2000:

1. Click Tools -> Options -> Configure Editors
2. Click the Add button
a. Specify PHP for file type
b. Specify Text Editor for the editor name
c. Specify notepad.exe for the command
3. Click the OK button to add the editor
4. Click the OK button to close the dialog

FP2002:

1. Click Tools -> Options -> Configure Editors
2. Click the Add button
a. Specify PHP for file type
b. Specify Text Editor for the editor name
c. Specify notepad.exe for the command
3. Click the OK button to add the editor
4. Click the OK button to close the dialog

FP2003:

1. Click Tools -> Options -> Configure Editors
2. Check to see if PHP is already in the list
3. If PHP is NOT in the list:
a. Click the New Extension icon
b. Specify PHP for the extension
c. Click the OK button to add the extension
d. Click the New Editor icon
e. Choose Notepad for the editor
f. Click the OK button to add the editor
4. Click the OK button to close the dialog

That is good advice.
I have a current website that is published. PHP and MySQL is new to my
server so I don't use it. I'm under the impression that I can incorporate
PHP simply by having the code written in the body of the html. My purpose
is to force a download box to appear when people click my PDF, word, excel,
or other files. I want the download to be the only choice as oppose to it
currently opening in the users browser. I realize I can tell them to right
mouse click and select "Save Target As" but I really want the download
dialog to appear.
I already found a function that was written in PHP but I don't know how to
implement it.
Thanks
