 Learn PHP - Part 1[/b]

Welcome too my second tutorial here on DevBest Forums, today you WILL learn PHP :)

Lets Get Started....

[B]What Does PHP Stand For?
[/B]PHP Stands For [U]Hypertext Preprocessor.

[/U]Every PHP Script begins the same, doesnt matter what your doing in a php script every new script must begin the same as the last.

To begin a new script open notepad.exe and type the following.

[PHP]<?php

The Code <?php opens our script.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now in this tutorial were only going to make a simple "Hello World" script which will display the text "Hello World" on page.

So... Type your opening code

<?php

Now you need to use the ECHO function which is built into the PHP scripting enviroment.

And Example is below:

echo("Hello World");

Notice between your text there are two quote marks - all text must be kept within these quotes otherwise they will return an error. For Example:

echo(Hello World);

- This would return an error.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now moving on we now need to learn how to end our script. Just like opening the script its just flipped around with some things removed... an example of how to close your script is below:

?>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thats it so lets take alook at the overall code:

<?php
echo("Hello World");
?>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now save that file as "hello_world.php" and save it ither on your local test server or upload it too your website (FTP).

So heres the steps below....

Step 1

You must be registered for see images attach

Step 2

You must be registered for see images attach

Step 3

You must be registered for see images attach

Thats it from me ... if you dont understand somthing just leave a comment below and ill try and explain it a little more

Peace out..
