PHP Tutorial: Installation and The Basics

To get php and apache installed use xampp. xampp is free and contains php / apache (around 33mb) 1. Download and Install XAMPP from here: www.apachefriends.org 2. on windows go to C:\xampp it should have a folder called htdocs. If you put a file called foo.html into the htdocs folder you should be able to access it by going to localhost or /foo.php. There's also something called WAMP www.wampserver.com There's a lot of php tutorials out there just search google www.google.com Request ...

1: I personally think XAMPP is for people that don’t want to learn how to set up Apache, PHP and MySQL. It’s really not that difficult.

2: Short tags are unsupported as of PHP5. That’s a good thing.

3: Putting variables inside strings does work but isn’t very neat according to many coders.

pretty much every site has it. If you’re on a site with boxes where you fill in any kind of information, php is used. (all sites where you can register or search and so on)

you have to end a echo to put a string in it
like this:

echo “hello youtube “.$str;

or

echo “hello youtube “.$str.”and continue”;

Wrong, double quotes are meant for strings that contain variables.
