Just get CCS or another C compiler.  I use PHP a lot in my job and
learning C for PICs was less than a challenge.  PHP is more or less C
syntax, just like JavaScript, and many other languages.  The only thing
that's different is PIC C compilers don't have all the crap you wouldn't
be able to use that PHP has.

Cheers
