It's programming time!/PHP

From Create Your Own Story

<?php echo '<p>Hello PHP</p>'; ?>

So, PHP, like javascript, is a companion to Lets make a webpage. The HTML from that and PHP actually go together. In fact, the three, javascript, HTML, and are frequently all found on the same website together.

What is PHP?

According to the PHP manual, PHP is:

PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.

However, there are some differences. HTML can be ran directly on your computer. Create the page, and open right there. Same with Javascript. But, PHP requires a web server. So, if you want to learn PHP, you need to get a webserver. No worries, it is easy, and doesn't take a real server. Just search for WAMP if you are on windows, or LAMP if you are on Linux. If you are on Android, you can try paw or something. Just search for android webserver.

Anyways, what would you like to learn about PHP?

(I will insert options here going forward. I am still very new to PHP, so need to learn myself before I can help others. It will grow as I learn.)
