Basically, a PHP file is a text file with the extension .php which consists of:
Let's get started with your first PHP page.
Now try to add the following simple code snippet to your HTML code:
But it gets interesting when you look at the HTML code in the browser (by selecting "view source"):
- Text
- HTML tags

The goal is that you become accustomed to looking up and finding answers to your questions. PHP is so extensive that you can't to learn all facets in this tutorial. But PHP is not difficult! On the contrary, PHP is often very similar to plain English.Let's get started with your first PHP page.
Example: Hello World!
Start by making an ordinary HTML document, but name the file page.php and save it in the root of the site:- If you use XAMPP, the path for the root is "c:\xampp\htdocs\page.php" on your computer (which is now a server). Read more abot saving PHP files in XAMPP.
- If you have a website on a host that supports PHP, you simply upload/ftp the file to your web host.
<html> <head> <title>My first PHP page</title> </head> <body> </body> </html>
PHP is all about writing commands to a server. So let's write a command to the server.First, we need to tell the server when the PHP will start and end. In PHP you use the tags <?php and ?> to mark the start and end for the PHP codes that the server must execute (on most servers it will be suficient to use just <? as start tag, but <?php is the most correct to use the first time PHP is used.)
Now try to add the following simple code snippet to your HTML code:
<html>
<head>
<title>My first PHP page</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo "<h1>Hello World!</h1>";
?>
</body>
</html>
When we look at the PHP document in a browser, it should look like this:
