Think maybe I should just learn PHP first?

Learn HTML first.
Wait, learn client-server (GUI/DB), then HTML (GUI), then learn networking (or how PCs interact)...
What the p do I know?
Anyway:
phptriad is basically PHP and mySQL in a common install (there is another piece, thus triad name...) Iffin you have PHP and mySql already installed and working, no need.
PHP is an HTML preprocessor (server side scripting).
mySQL is a DBMS.
If this doesn't make much sense to you, you need to learn more.
BTW, this is how 'I' think you want this whole jobber work.
On any PC of original 3, open browser (your choice) and go to URL for your
web server.
This brings up login page? HTML search page for music? The starting point (let's use PHP).
From here user chooses "artist", "alice in chains" (po alice), and clicks Submit button.
Now, onSubmit() will send form input to
web server, which will recognize PHP requext and send to PHP processing.
PHP now processes form input and connects to a mySQL DB, that performs SQL query returning any matches to
PHP, which returns to
web server, which sends back to browser...
Got it? There is some processing and a lot to learn.
Without a PC acting as server (web and DB), then things are a little tougher...
