You can combine PHP with
HTML, like so:
<html>
<body>
<font face="Arial,Helvetica">
<?php
print "my
first PHP
script!";
?>
</font>
</body>
</html> |
|
As long as you still name
the file with a .php
extension, the server will
check the code for
<?php ?> tags,
interpret them, and send
them along to the browser
along with the HTML code, so
that when it has loaded it
just looks like a regular
HTML page.
You can add comments to your
PHP code like so:
<?php
// print
some text
print "my
first PHP
script!";
?> |
|
Everything on a line
beginning with two slashes
(//) will be ignored by the
server. Comments serve as
reminders, and are useful
when you go back to the code
months later to edit it. If
you have comments that span
over more lines than one,
use the following comment
tags:
<?php
/*
print some
text
this is a
comment
over more
than one
line
*/
print "my
first PHP
script!";
?> |
