Those PHP Tags
Hello ...
Continuing with our Build Your own Site tutorial series, and in the spirit of getting you more comfortable with the PHP programming and it's use with other languages; we'll be taking a closer look at the magic that happens between those PHP tags in this one.
As usual, we'll try and break it down for ya. Let's get back to the basics and try and reload all this information from the beginning of this tutorial series.
REMEMBER
sam.php, another-file.php, or {what-ever-name}.php are PHP files.
In essence, any file that has the subscript .php is a PHP file. And the server will execuite it as such.
Also any piece of code written between the tags is PHP. And is run by the server when loaded.
Note that PHP scripts are usually used with other languages and stuctures of the web browser.
These other resources are what we'll be looking at now in great detail.
We'll start with the bricks and mortar of browser development; good old HTML.
"a website is essentially a collection of files that work together. kept together on a server. Which is essentially a storage drive that can run(execute) our files."
