Quick notes on PHP

PHP4 is a server-side HTML-embedded scripting language.

Please note, that you must install the php cgi first. It is not installed by default.
--> Go to your web control panel --> Free Scripts --> Install "PHP4"

In order to use PHP, make sure that the .php extension must be used rather than .html.
More info can be found at http://www.php.net/

Example:

the following php code:

<?php echo "Hi visitor, your IP address is $REMOTE_ADDR !"; ?> <p> You are using <big><?php echo $HTTP_USER_AGENT; ?></big>

results in this output:

This php code is extremely simple and you really didn't need to use PHP to create a popup window like this.

The point of the example is to show the special PHP tag format. In this example we used <?php to indicate the start of a PHP tag. Then we put the PHP statement and left PHP mode by adding the closing tag, ?>. You may jump in and out of PHP mode in an HTML file like this all you want.
