Hello. I know C++ well enough, and now I want to learn PHP. Is PHP
similar to C++ (not syntax, but concepts)? How difficult can it be?
Where should I start (after installing the server)? Thanks

Yes.
Variables are more easy to use and no Memorymanagement.

index.php:
<?PHP
echo "Hello world<br>";
?>

Variables are harder to use because there is no typing that you can rely
on. Memory management is automatic so it will bite you one day.
Its interpreted so the order of things is important.
Variables are actually not declared, they are constructed.

Juts pretend its C with $ in front of every variable till you get a
syntax error, then RTFM.
Read up the dot operator as well, and the way strings are handled and
their syntax: subtle differences.

In what way do you think memory management will bite you one day (apart
from the naive user, who, confronted with a 32kword IBM 7094, proceeded
to DIMENSION his FORTRAN array 1000x1000)?
