> I don't even know if I'm up to the level of being a newbie at thispoint. I mostly need to do a specific thing, get a html file todisplay its last modified date and time inside itself.I'm not sure a book is going to be that useful, but maybe a Web sitecould be. I'd need one that really is basic.I've found a Web page or two, but they seem to assume that I know morethan I do because I can't get the code snippets I've found on thoseWeb pages to work.I used to use ssi for this, but I moved to a new Web host and theyseem to have their server time zone set as the only time zone I candisplay, and they are far away from me, so in ssi I get a date andtime for a file modification time that's many hours off. I'm hopingthat php will solve my problem. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried setting up your own webserver to try this out on?
 Try doing basic stuff and work your way up to figuring it out? I
 had messaged similar problem with using JS in PHP and although my
 solution wasn't too elegant it did what I wanted.
 

The point is to break down what u want done and attack each step.
 Next, use HTML in your file to do what you want to then replace
 each one with a PHP snippet. I could offer you some help if you
 would like.
