How do i Cre8 a php page?

**Rainbowinblack** · 02-12-2005, 01:43 PM

i learned php out of a book and there it taught me to place a php tag inside a html page
like:

Code:

<html>
<body>
<?php 
echo "something";
echo "another something";
?>
</body>
</html>

my question is- what do i need to do to make it a .php insted of .html?
leave it like this ? or change any thing?

hmmm...
I'm not sure that's the right way.
U don't need an html tag in php page, except some times, and when u do, u need to put "echo" before html tags. Php codes don't need "echo" before the code.
To save it as .php, just open the page in NotePad and the the files as filename.php, instead of filename.html

I hope this helps, although there might be other ways of doing it....

The code is correct. What you need to do is change the Windows folder settings to display known file extensions and then rename the .html part of the name to .php. You can change the settings by opening My Computer, going to Tools then Folder Options, going to the view tab and then unchecking 'Hide extensions for known file types'. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I'm not english, so my english is not so good, and I don't know what is sentex, I looked in the dictionary and there's no such word there. But if it means definition, then php code is a programming language, just like html and java. Is that what u want to know?
