Php Tutorial Part 1

This is the first part of the php script language tutorial.

Basic: you need a webserver that support php and mysql
They are many free hosting providers but for experimenting i suggest that you install on your computer wamp.

When you install wamp or create an account with a free hosting provider

open a new document in the www directory in c:\wamp and name it index.php
paste the code below
<html>
<body>

<?php
echo "Hello World";
?>

</body>
</html>

ok what the above code does?
<html> are html tags

between <?php ?> are php script tags

echo "Prints something to the screen";

it can be done like this echo "hello";

or echo "hi
this is a test message";

Ok how we insert comments ?

comments are inserted like this
//single line comment

/*

This is a

multi line code

*/

Remember the code must be surrounded by <?php ?>
or it will be showed to the users browsers

This is the fist tutorial and is very simple.
