If you're asking about coding PHP, I'd say there's no absolutely easy way to do it. You will need knowledge in HTML and PHP to get started.
Dreamweaver is just software which helps you speed up your development. It also can generate PHP code for you, but at least you must be familiar with the interface and some concept of programming.
You can follow my blog at http://www.dwphp.com/ which I have been writing tutorials about PHP Development in Dreamweaver. There are a few tutorials there to help you get started. More to come soon.

Well, there are many Integrated Development Environments that support PHP. If you are making a backend extensive application using Netbeans and eclipse with PHP extensions. Using Dreamweaver is a good option when there is more frontend coding required because Dreamweaver's autocomplete is poorly designed.
But on the other hand there are other IDEs like Aptana Studio and Komodo IDE too. They have a very good library management that works with many PHP frameworks and even Javascript Librabries.
