PHP Basics
For the PHP Basics we are going to assume that your server has basic PHP support and that .php extensions are handled by PHP. If this is the case you’re ready to start as a PHP Programmer. One of the things I love about PHP is that I don’t have to compile anything. I don’t need any extra tools if I don’t want. Just a text editor and ftp program.
I like to think of PHP files as simple HTML documents that allow us to create tags to make the content come to life, dynamically. All you have to do is write the code and save the file to your server. That simple.
As you become more proficient and leave the PHP Basics, you will learn other tools and techniques to write your own code. For now we will just show you what it is to be new to the language.
Our next section covers How PHP Works. Thank you for taking time to read our PHP Basics section.
