[QUOTE="lionsIT, post: 1706391, member: 89624"] Ok Lets start php from the basics. [B] What is php?[/B] php is a server side scripting language. [B] Why php? [/B] Free and open source easy to understand and develope Great support for mysql(database) Lot of ready made codes in the Internet Even the elakiri.com forum is developed using php [B] Why serverside scripts?[/B] let say that you want to create a login page. you cannot create a login page just using HTML, you need some language(code) to check values entered in the username and password textboxes with the actual values that are stored in the database. So now you understand that, to do dynamics things in a website you need serverside script language. OK then enough of theory lets start practicals :lol: You need a web server to run your php scripts. Apache is a good choice for a webserver(Free). Download and install wamp server 2, it's a package of apache + php 5 + mysql this is a simple setup just run it. [URL="http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php"]http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php[/URL] ok now your set to run your first php program. open a note pad and enter the code below. save it as [I]hello.php[/I] (remeber to select [I]All file[/I] in the [I]Save as type[/I]: box) save the file in C:\wamp\www www - is the root directory of your apache webserver [php]<php //This is a comment, these will not be printed, comments are used to describe code echo "Hello ElaKiri"; //echo will display text in your browser ?>[/php] You will need to stop IIS in your machine if IIS is installed goto start-> run -> and type [I]NET STOP IISADMIN[/I] [B]Always remeber to start Wamp server before running a php script.[/B] goto start -> programs -> wampserver -> start wamp server wait until the wamp icon in the icon tray(where your computer time is) turn white. Open your firefox/ internet explorer and type [URL="http://localhost/hello.php"][code]http://localhost/hello.php[/code][/URL] Now you should see a [I]Hello ElaKiri[/I] in your browser window. localhost - it means your computer thats it you are on your way to become a php Guru :lol: [/QUOTE]
