Need PHP Help!!

ThEMakeR · 07-27-2006

HI,

I have been stuck for ages now on how to build a basic page in PHP. What I need is a tutorial or a book that takes you step by step through creating a webpage in PHP, and you end up with a page built in PHP at the end of the tutorial/book.

Does anyone have any suggestions of where to find such content?

Muchly appreciated

What do you want on the page that will require php? A php page is really just a html page with some php code and a cool .php extension.

The coding is the difficult part so it helps to know what you're trying to achieve.

PHP Code:


			
<?php
echo "Congrats! This is your first PHP page";
?>

Save that file as index.php and upload to your server which has php and you have your first page. There are tons of PHP tutorials around the web. Good place to start is http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_intro.asp . And don't be afraid to ask help.

Will try these. I wasn't aware you were able to have a normal page but with php extension. I understand a bit more about it now!!

Here is a quick code.......

<html>
<body>
<?php
$d=date("D");
if ($d=="Fri")
echo "Have a nice weekend!";
else
echo "Have a nice day!";
?>
</body>
</html>

What this is basically saying is that if the date ($d) equals (==) Friday (Fri) then the echo would be Have a nice weekend!, BUT if the date equals any other day then the echo would be Have a nice day!
