Your local bookstore has an awesome section entitled "Computers -
Programming". It might go by the sneaky name of "Computing -
Programming Languages", or something tricky like that.

Seriously, go down there and pick out any introductory book about
php. I started with Sam's Teach Yourself PHP. You will run through
the basics, and then you can ask more interesting questions.

Try saving it as a .php file :-)

I take it you are uploading it to a server?

Not entirely true.
Check the source of the html page, and you find the php-part in there just
fine. It only didn't execute. :)

The problem with your approach is that you need PHP to actually run.
Just throwing it into a browser as a html-file will not do.
You need PHP installed on a server (can be your own machine), and tell your
webserver (Apache/IIS/whatever) that it should use PHP for all requests
that end with .php (.html is NOT a smart idea).

That asside, I tink e_matthes gave you a better answer: Just get a good
book.
I prefer books from O'Reilly, but that is a matter of taste.

ok, perfect! it worked fine with .php
the tutorial i found, talked about php code inside html code, only,
without precising where it is processed! i thinked that is processing
in the browser .... now seeing both sources i understood the
difference!

sincerely, tks a lot!!!!!!!!!

In our last episode,

talented rhXX broadcast on comp.lang.php:

hi,

i need to begin in php. is there any tutorial to begin? (i started an
hour ago .....)

i copied this first example

><html>
><head>
><titleHello World </title>
></head>
><body>

Hello, world!

><?php

echo 'This is my first PHP web page.';

?>

></body>
></html>

and saved as .html file, and when i open it with the browser, it
appears only the html part, but not php ....

tks in advance

Browsers should ignore stuff in angle brackets that cannot be identified as
HTML elements. And php is not HTML. PHP is a preprocessor language (among
other things). See: "pre" + "processor. " Something has to process it. That
something can be a web SERVER (not a browser) if the server has a php module
and is properly configured. Or it can be php at the command line. You
don't really have an .html document. It is a .php document. It is the
processing that changes it into html that can be rendered by browsers. I am
pretty sure some browsers can be configured to use php (if it is installed)
to preprocess a document before it renders it, but that will often require a
dummy server environment and the browser will have to know the document is
supposed to be php, which it won't when it views the document as a file and
the extension is not .php.

1) Have you installed php on your system?
2) Do you have a web server with a php module?

If the answer is no to both questions, then you are not in the php business.
If 1) is yes, I suggest you start reading the documentation that came with
it.

If you just want to see what is in the document, use view source in your
browser.
