Editing PHP

Personal Home Page, more commonly known as PHP, is an interpreted Object Orientated Programming language.

= Background =

PHP is a programming language made by Rasmus Lerdorf, back in 1994. The original aim of PHP was to be a web development language, but can act as a general purpose language. It's native functions are based around web development, but it's still a very powerful general purpose language.


= Installation =

For this, we're going to assume you're on windows or osx. If you're on Nix, you probably already know how to install a web server. So to install PHP, we will need a web server, and a few plugins. We could do this manually, but I'm lazy, so we are just going to use [[XAMPP]]. To download, [https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html click here]. Be sure to download the latest version.

After installing, you need to open it. After opening, you should be set for the tutorial.


= Introduction =

In this introduction, we're going to; make our own [[Hello World]] program; learn simple terminology; cover the basics of the syntax.

== Hello World! ==

Ok, so the following bit of code is going to print Hello World to our browser in raw text,

<code>
echo "Hello World";
</code>

Now let's do it with HTML,

<code>
 <!DOCTYPE html>
 <html>
    <head>
        <title>Your Title Here!</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <?= "Hello World"; ?>
    </body>
 </html>
</code>

== Syntax ==

Now we have done a simple [[Hello World]] program, we can get onto syntax! YAY!
