Step 1: Beginners Introduction - iC0D3 - 04-30-2013

ChitChat N Code?

You heard it right. Welcome to step 1 of the very simplest PHP script.
I will explain the script, what it does, and why each line is written.

Step 1) We want to make a PHP file. Generally, "index.php" or "test.php"
Step 2) You will need some sort of web host, or local PHP such as XAMPP
Step 3) Create the file, make it 3 lines with the following:

PHP Code:
<?php

?>

Now considering the file is .php and your tags and opened, and you have a closing point - all thats left is our code inbetween. Below are two examples to help you get the idea.

PHP Code:
<?php
echo 5 + 9;

// This is a comment for coders to read, it will not be ran 
// As long as it begins with the two // 
?>

PHP Code:
<?php
$myForum = "ChitNChat";
$myName = "iC0D3";

echo "Hello, {$myName} is a member of {$myForum}";
?>
