Question

Hello dear friends I am going to post my first php tutorial: (Do comment your views).

Answer 1

PHP is a general-purpose server-side scripting language originally designed for Web development to produce dynamic Web pages. It is one of the first developed server-side scripting languages to be embedded into an HTML source document rather than calling an external file to process data. The code is interpreted by a Web server with a PHP processor module which generates the resulting Web page. It also has evolved to include a command-line interface capability and can be used in standalone graphical applications.

Answer 2

Now friends I am going to show you how to write your first code in php.
<?php //to start a php code you will put '<?php' it'll tell compiler that the code is started


?> //to end the php code you will put '?>' . It'll tell compiler when to stop.
between these starting and end delimiters you'll write the php instructions

Answer 3

now the first php code,
//this code will display hello world
<?php
echo "Hello world";
?>
//echo => its an output instruction
output:
Hello world
Now, this code can be written by embedding html in it.
<?php
echo "Hello World<br><b>This text is bold";
?>
//BR => it's a line break instruction
//B => it is used for making the text bold
output:
Hello World
\(\mathbf{This}\) \(\mathbf{text}\) \(\mathbf{is}\) \(\mathbf{bold}\)

Answer 4

we can also use a variable for this purpose:
to initialize a variable in php we use
$variable_name
<?php
$name = "Aproov";
echo "My friend name is $name";
?>

output:
My friend name is Aproov

\[\color{maroon}{\mathtt{\text{<Comments>}}}\]
like C language, php also have comments. Comments are used to increase the readability of a program. There are two types of comments
1. single line
2. multi line
For single line comments we type
// and text put after these are ignored by the compiler
For multi line comments we type
/* text after this is ignored until compiler finds */

Answer 7

i see this has a lot of resemblance to C language. i think if a person has background on C language then this is not that hard yes? interesting. one question though. where can i type php? i mean does notepad support it? or dev c++? or a completely new software?

Answer 8

@lgbasallote yes a person with C language background can easily learn this language. for php you'll need a server to execute you code or if you dont like to pay for server then download & install xampp. to write php code you can use a notepad or a notepad++ and save your file with an extension .php. link to download xampp and notepad++ are as under:
