I have noticed the following often is an issue for people, which may or may not apply to you. People starting out are afraid to start and get things wrong, pick the wrong way or whatever, so they don't start. Every person who wants to know whether their first language should be python or ruby, java or c++, etc instead of picking one and trying it may have this issue. It's not about the right language, it's the fear of making the wrong choice. (note: this has effected me too). So for you, the way to write your first line of php is to write it. Break your idea down into parts, and implement them. Have a goal. Find something that might get you there. Don't spend too much time avoiding failures. Instead, learn as you go from your mistakes. Pick something that might work and try it. Don't try to pick the perfect thing without having worked on your problem... That is a paralyzing impossibility. If my advice is not applicable, ignore it.
