revraz Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 You need a webhost that supports PHP. If that host does, then something is wrong with your code. You need to make sure you use <?php ?> tags and also to save the file as .php Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82560-solved-im-completely-new-and-need-some-answers/#findComment-419726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 the php goes right into the HTML Example: save with a .php extention (index.php): <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>MurderCup.com Home of the Beer Pong Social Network</title> </head> <body> <?php echo 'Hello WORLD!'; ?> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82560-solved-im-completely-new-and-need-some-answers/#findComment-419728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohdang888 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 if you are just randomly creating these pages for fun and not a business, i suggest using apache on your own computer. its free.

Jessica Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Also, pick up a book on PHP that will explain the basics of how this server-side language actually works. Tutorials you find online assume you already know something about programming and how to use php.

phpSensei Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 www.wampserver.com Install that on your computer to get some good coding practice before you even beginning coding. As jesirose said, you should also get a PHP book, and learn the basics. http://books.google.ca/books?id=xFs6JpC6HNIC&dq=sams+teach+yourself+php+in+24+hours&pg=PP1&ots=cSU7Cfs192&sig=BXW6-d6MgAgTSP1QmLT46M0aM9o&hl=en&prev=http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=Sams+Teach+Yourself+PHP+in+24+Hours&sa=X&oi=print&ct=title&cad=one-book-with-thumbnail Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82560-solved-im-completely-new-and-need-some-answers/#findComment-419790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
