If you want it to be done without reloading the page, you have to use Javascript.

Thankyou this is the first thing i have looked at on using php and i now understand the basics, i am very grateful for this tutorial and also you are a great teacher.

Nice tutorial, it got me understanding the basics of php. I'm just wondering, is it possible to test my php code on my computer without uploading to the internet? I typed it in Wordpad and saved it as learning.php, but when I try to open it, nothing happens... thanks to whoever responds!

I do belive that if you read through this thread you would of seen this answeared befor.

as PHP is a server side srcipt, it needs to be run on a server inorder for it be interprated.

you can do this on your own computer, but you need to downlaod a server application. a program that will make you computer run as a web server.

for testing php on your own computer, i would get easyPHP this is a simple one hit install that gets a nice simple slim line server running on your computer. just do not erven think about using it as a proper web server, due to the fact that set up to be used as a test server. it has more or less no security for use as a proper web server.

Hey! I'm glad you searched around before asking questions like "HI! Ima n3ws tuh php!1! D0 u no where i culd find sum gud tuts??11"

So thanks!

This tutorial inspired me to start learning php. Very well done and very easy. The only thing you should of included was how to run the php files. I have seen numerous posts that say "ITS NOT WORKING!!!1!!1 HOW DO I RUN THE FILEE HELPP PLZ PLZ PLZZZ" ok maybe that exagerating a bit but there are comments like that. Most people don't have the patience to read through the post and find the answer. Anyways extremely good tutorial for beginners like me!

Not a bad tutorial.. pretty much says everything you need to know as a beginner, some other beginners tutorials can either get too detailed, or not enough detailed. I think you got the right level here :)

For the sake of conversation,

I'm running Apache 2.2 on my computer with PHP (with MySQL support), Ruby, Python, and Perl. Right now, I'm focusing on PHP. As soon as I get good enough with PHP, I'm going to work with Ruby. It's simple to set up Apache on your computer to run as a server.

There are plenty of tutorials online of how to fix the config file for Apache, if you don't understand how to do that.

How do u run a PHP code?

I recommend a web server; it's much more conventional then running off of your machine through the PHP interepeter. Firstly:

http://www.wampserver.com/en (Local) If you're using Winblows. Oops, I mean Windows.

Free:
http://www.freehostia.com
http://www.awardspace.com

Better Hosting (Paid):

lol good windows joke

Anways, thanks
