PHP BASICS PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is an open source, server-side, HTML embedded scripting language used to create dynamic Web pages. PHP script is embedded within a HTML document and the programmer can jump between HTML and PHP seamlessly within the document while the code remains inaccessible to users since it is processed on the server. It combines the power of CGI scripting with the ease of working within HTML. PHP offers several key advantages: • Cross-platform operability • Compatibility with a wide variety of databases • Support for most current web servers • Communicates with numerous network protocols • Not limited to HTML output • Strong text processing capabilities Assuming you have an operating system and Web server setup on your server, PHP installation is fairly easy. Essentially you need to install the PHP processor and have your server associate .php files with it. PHP.net has detailed installation instructions for UNIX/Linux, Windows, and Mac OS on its Web site. Once you have PHP installed, all you need to do is place your php files in your Web directories and the server will automatically parse them when someone points their web-browser to that page. Getting Started with PHP Pages The one thing that holds true regardless of the technology you work with is this: the infamous "hello world" is the way to get started. In PHP, our "hello world" would look as follows: ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 2002:31cb:b9c3::31cb:b9c3 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/manual.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105685 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105685/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105685/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105685/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105685/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105685/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105685/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105685 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105685 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
