Is there anyone who knows of a _VERY_ simple php 101, where I (a simple minded beginner) can learn how to make use of php on my website?

[php.net...] worked for me

There is also a pile of example code on zend.com.

Good luck and enjoy, I don't know how I ever lived without PHP :)

There is a good three lesson tutorial over at WebMonkey [hotwired.lycos.com] which takes you through the basics of using PHP and its partner in crime, MySQL.
(skip over the installation stuff tho - its better explained at other sites)

You might start by renaming your html files with a .php extension. Then it will be easy to try some simple scripts that give today's date and time or a page counter. I bought Begginning PHP from WROX and have found it quite useful.
