How easy is it to install PHP scripts/datadabes on a server?

I need to download a script but i have never used PHP files before. I have a server already with MYSQL databases free and Apache installed so is it as simple as dropping the PHP files into a directory? How easy are they to edit?

Copy the files into the appropriate directory, I would advise creating a directory below the server root, for testing and editing. (e.g. on Linux the server root is generally now /srv/www/htdocs, so a folder called test under this might be a good safe starting point.) For mysql you need to set up a user to control the data. Always set up passwords for this user, one main admin user, and root, which is the original user. Check the manual for this.
