dude, php is easy to learn, and when you know php, a game is easy to make if you know your algebra. Look for a book known as, "building a database driven website using php and mysql" something like that, it's found on sitepoint.com or something, it's a GREAT book! It teaches you all you really need to know, how to use a database to store data and how to use php to retrieve, store, show, and manage that data = ally ou need to know to make a game besides basic math equations to calculate damages and etc. also, take some basic tutorials on the web to familiarize yourself with php and the math in php and etc. the math is easy you just need to k now how to do it. Look man, I learned it all when I was 12, it's a learning process, making a game willt each you a lot it'll just be harder when you first start, don't give up though, just be patient. that is my advice.

Just think of it this way.
You have a variable in algebra usually x but it can be anything. You also have a function f(x).... lets look at it this way: a x in php could be represented as $x -> you must use a dollar sign as a variable so your browser can see it is a variable. You can name it anything, as long as it is $something.
You have your math, $something * $anothervariable, $something/$anothervariable, $something - $anothervariable and so on.
Your functions are also simple, just get in the habit of functions, they may seem hard but in reality think of algebra you have a function:
f(x) = x^2+x+2
well the same function in php would be
function math($x)
{
$x^2+$x+2;
}
a function in php is just a group or selection of code that you wish to run as a group. like it would be easier to just write a function then rewrite your codes over and over again and it allows you to insert A LOT of coding/calculations into a single space.
Just get in the habit of looking at php as a math with many different functions. Programming is nothing but a calculator with advanced functions.
