Use information gathered in php in html

[CitizenErased]

Hello i'm a quite the novice when in comes to php so bear with me.

 

I have information stored in php variables, and i'm wondering what is the best way to get that information to a html page to be put a a table or something.

 

essentially I don't want to include the php code on the html page, but still somehow execute the php and get the information the the html page.

There are many ways to do this - most aren't 'noob-friendly'

 

Regardless, at some point you will have to mix code or some form of placeholder into your markup.

 

Using include is probably the easiest method of keeping your logic away from your markup.

From the PHP manual:

PHP and HTML interact a lot: PHP can generate HTML, and HTML can pass information to PHP.

 

You:

You should take a little time to study php. php goes through an interpreter and generates html. php can not appear in html. You can make an entire html page with php.

 

To put a php variable (ie. $phpvar = 'Cold Ice'; ) into a <td></td> of a html page you do this:

<td><?php echo $phpvar; ?></td> 

and the browser will display Cold Ice where you want it in your table.
