Introduction
In the past 6 parts of this tutorial I have shown you the basics of
writing PHP. In this final part I will show you a few small things which
don't really warrant a section of their own.
Comments
As with any programming language, it is quite important to comment in
your script. If you are working on a script with someone else you must
let them know what you code does and if you are distributing your script
you will need to show people how to edit it. Even if you are the only
one who will use your script it is useful...

Wednesday, September 12, 2012
Introduction
In the last part, I showed you how to use PHP to send e-mail messages
using a script. In this part I will continue this and also show you how
to use PHP and forms together to make your PHP scripts useful.

normal in HTML. As this is a PHP tutorial I will not go into depth in
how to write your form but I will show you three of the main pieces of
code you must know:
<input type="text" name="thebox" value="Your Name">

PHP Tutorial : E-mail With PHP
Wednesday, September 12, 2012
Introduction
One of the major uses of a server side scripting language is to provide a
way of sending e-mail from the server and, in particular, to take form
input and output it to an e-mail address. In this part I will show you
how to send e-mail messages using PHP.
The Mail Command
Mail is extremely easy to send from PHP, unlike using scripting
languages which require special setup (like CGI). There is actually just
one command, mail() for sending mail. It is used as follows:
mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);
In this example...
PHP Tutorial : Loops and Arrays
Wednesday, September 12, 2012
Introduction
In the last parts of this tutorial I have showed you how to deal with
text and variables in PHP and how you can use IF statements to compare
them and to make decisions. In this part I am going to show you how to
use another important part of PHP, loops.
The WHILE Loop
The WHILE loop is one of the most useful commands in PHP. It is also
quite easy to set up and use. A WHILE loop will, as the name suggests,
execute a piece of code until a certain condition is met.
Repeating A Set Number Of Times

PHP Tutorial : IF Statements
Wednesday, September 12, 2012
Introduction
Over the past two parts I have shown you the basics of text in PHP and
how to store it as variables. In this part of the tutorial I will show
you how to use IF statements to make decisions in your scripts.
The Basics Of IF
If statements are used to compare two values and carry out different
actions based on the results of the test. If statements take the form
IF, THEN, ELSE. Basically the IF part checks for a condition. If it is
true, the then statement is executed. If not, the else statement is
executed.
IF Strucure

In the last part of the tutorial I explained some of the advantages of
PHP as a scripting language and showed you how to test your server for
PHP. In this part I will show you the basics of showing information in
the browser and how you can use variables to hold information.
Printing Text
To output text in your PHP script is actually very simple. As with most
other things in PHP, you can do it in a variety of different ways. The
main one you will be using, though, is print. Print will allow you to
output text, variables...
