About PHP

PHP is an acronym of hypertext preprocessor. It is a server side language through which we can make a dynamic web page by embedding PHP code into HTML. To run PHP pages you need to have following installation on your system/machine.

OS (Operating System) -> Windows/Linux
Server -> IIS/Apache
Database -> MySQL, MSSQL, ORACLE, MSACCESS, PostgreSQL etc.
PHP -> PHP Installation on System

You can easily run PHP on Windows by installing WAMP server. WAMP stands for Windows+Apache+MySQL+PHP and popularly used as development platform next to LAMP (Linux+Apache+MySQL+PHP).

A sample PHP page script starts as follows:
=========CODE BEGINS========

<?php // PHP Begins
echo 'Hello World'; //(echo) Print Output on Screen
?> //PHP Ends

=========CODE ENDS==========

Hi,
Learning a new language (programming or otherwise) can be a bit overwhelming. Many people just don't know where to start and give up before they even begin. Learning PHP is NOT as overwhelming as it might seem,,The first thing you need, before you start learning PHP, is a basic understanding of HTML. You can switch between PHP and HTML right in the same document
