Quick php tutorial
HELLO WORLD
1) Open a basic text editor like notepad
2) Insert our php opening and closing tags
3) Paste the code below between the tags
PHP Code:
//hello world comment
echo "Hello World!";
4) Save the file as helloworld.php and upload it to a web server with php installed
5) Navigate to the location in your browser
6) You should now see this
So what did each part of the script do?
Well the <?php and ?> tags tell the php parser to parse anything between them before sending to the browser
The "//hello world comment" is what is known as a comment and is ignored by the php parser. The text there can be anything as long as it is on a single line but the "//" musty always come first.
The 'echo "Hello World!";' Is a function used to output html to the browser. Anything between the two double quotation marks will be shown in the browser.
And thats the end of that tutorial!
