I learned a bunch of new things today.
I learned about basic syntax and how to include PHP in an HTML document.
I learned how to use the print statement and a little bit about variables. I like how variables can be set many times in a script. I also like how form variables can be set automatically for a script (depending on your PHP configuration).
I was also excited to find out that I could use a "print" statement to...errr... include text in an HTML document.
I didn't learn much about errors or debugging though. Everything that I've retyped in hasn't had any errors. Hopefully I make some mistakes soon.
Here's what I've got so far (GPL'ed of course!!)...
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello, World!</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
//This will print "Hello, World!"
echo '<p>Hello, World!</p>';
//This will print the browser agent.
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
print "$PHP_SELF";
//testing out variables
print ("<p>");
$utterance = "I love you!";
print ("When I am happy, I want to say $utterance");
$utterance = "ergh!";
print ("When I am angry, I want to say $utterance");
print ("<P>");
print ( "\"I am the chicken man!\"" );
?>
</body>
</html>
I am *so* starting a Sourceforge project!
