How to practice TDD in a web application?

I am new to TDD.

What are some of the methods that you guys use when using TDD to develop webapp?

I am looking for advice for beginners. Practical examples or “military stories” will be appreciated. :)

Bonus: what software do you use for TDD (ideal for the LAMP stack).

One way to get a web application is to use some design pattern, such as MVC or similar. The basic idea is to get as much code as possible from web pages and move it to classes that are more encapsulated and suitable for testing. When structuring such code, TDD for a web application is similar to TDD for any other software.
