Glad I could be of some assistance to you.
Wish I would of thought looking into newsgroups for answers when I first
started PHP :p might have gone easier, but then, perhaps not.

Well you did say:-
"(Let me first say that I'm a non-programmer/newbie asking for something
very basic here, so every pro is welcome to roll his eyes in disgust
....)"
Make your mind up.

This group is not suited to such wide ranging questions. Where to start
with PHP? Pedro answered that question - you start with Hello World
like the rest of us. I run a 30 hour introduction to PHP course for
non-programmers at a community college and I don't even touch MySql. I
consider that to be intermediate level. Taking in programming, database
design and normalisation, and SQL all in one go is too much for most
people.
