PHP is already installed in your system. Open a terminal and type php -help.

PHP.net (http://php.net/) is a nice place to start with documentation and lots of useful stuff.

To get PHP running smoothly on your Mac (along with MySQL) you can try MAMP (http://www.mamp.info/de/index.html). (If you only need PHP your Mac supports that out of the box, but you'll need enable it (http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/php_leopard.php).)

Also, I've moved this thread to the Web developer forum. Check out the stickies for tips & tricks... :)

If you want to learn the language, w3school is your bet. If you want a book, I suggest PHP and MySQL Web Development Forth Edition.

If you just want a server up and running, I suggest MAMP. It's a very good development environment and has Apache, PHP & MySQL (The database you're talking about).

If you just want software to develop PHP on, I suggest CODA but any text editor will do. Text Wrangler is a very good free alternative. CODA has FTP (Transit), so it's a no-brainer for me.

Good luck
