Hi

I have been looking for the way that I can use to install PHP on Ubuntu 10.10

I found a little bit but I still need more.

So what I need is what should I install to design PHP pages (Appach,....) ? and how can I install them on Ubuntu ?

Thank you

sudo tasksel

and select LAMP server.

Hello and welcome!
You may wish to clarify your statement but i'm guessing what you need.

Generally you install PHP with a web-server it can be a pain to setup so on a dev machine (one that your not going to open to the public) install LAMP it gives you:
Apache (the best web-server by far)
MySQL (A very good database one of the best)
PHP
And a TON of other bits and pieces.

Apache is used to serve the pages and it asks PHP to run the code as it does that...
TO write the PHP you can just use a plain text editor (NOT Microsoft word or open office), however I recommend a proper program which knows PHP syntax (it should highlight things generally making your life easier) I use Notepad++ not sure if its available on Ubuntu through.
