Lesson 1 - Escaping the PHP
Under "normal" circumstances, you'll mix PHP and HTML within a document. The PHP has to be separated from the HTML. Computer nerds like calling this "escaping". Escaping is done in any one of 4 ways:a) The shortest method of escaping
<? "Put your php code here"; ?>
b) The standard method of escaping (also the default):
<?php "put your PHP code here"; ?>
c) Escaping like in JavaScript:
<script language = "php">
"in this case the script code comes here like in javascript";
</script>
d) Escaping like in ASP:
<% "code comes here like in ASP"; %>
a) and d) above have to be especially configured in order for them to be acceptable by your PHP pre-processor. In this tutorials we will make use of a) and b) - especially b).
Ok. Hello World...
