[tut] PHP Basics 1

[Llama!]

Hello!
This tut is about the "basics" of php. Nothin much but you need to start somewhere

If you make a php code you need to open the code with:
<?php
and close it with:
?>

There are several ways to make comments, these are a few:
<?php
#this is a 1 line comment
//also a 1 line comment
/* multiple
line comments */
?>

To get something on the screen we use echo.
<?php
echo "This is my first PHP code!";
?>

As you can see it has ; at the end. You end everything with ; Only if, else, for and while don't.

Now let's start using variables. In variables you can store a little amount of data. Example:
<?php
$var = "This is a var!";
echo $var;
?>

Now it will say This is a var! To "connect" a var and an echo you use a . Example:
<?php
$var = "This is a var!";
echo $var." This is not a var";
?>

With an if and else you can let it echo different stuff. Let's make an example with a var.
<?php
$var = "hello";

if($var == "hello"){
echo "The var has the text hello.";
}else{
echo "The var does not have the text hello.";
}
?>

That was the basics Hope you understand
