The first thing you need to learn in PHP is how to install it. At first, it'll take
a couple hours. Later you'll be able to do it in about 10 minutes.

Are you learning _about_ PHP or are you learning PHP? If you're learning
_about_ PHP then Devry will install it for you and you'll graduate without even
knowing how to install PHP. BTW, Apache does not 'include' the PHP 
modules. Rather, PHP is 'attached to' Apache. It's about five lines in the 
httpd.conf file, maybe even less. All the rest of PHP is in its internal 
PHP.INI file.
