I got my first taste of PHP at
www.w3schools.com
Then I later bought a book. I run my own forums and so forth, I'm guessing that the LED thing works by basically: when the user logs on, set a value in the SQL database to "on", so when you call a page which display's the username, it will show the online image (which is the green LED). When the user logs off, the opposite happens and you see a red LED. May sound confusing... I can't think of any better way to put it.
And I could be very very very wrong.
Also, you're still going to need to use some HTML when writting your own PHP scripts. Maybe you can try googling for a script that does what you want?
