Day 1 - Getting Started - Become PHP Expert in 30 days

[vineesh]

Successfully uploaded my first php file. You can view the same at

http://php.flashwebhost.com/vineesh/hello.php

But I didn't get any error after removing the ; from end of the line. My code is:

<?php 

echo "I am becoming a PHP programmer"

?>

One more thing I noticed,

In the code you given in Day 1 Post (here), under the line 'Paste following content to that file.'

<?php

echo "Hello from PHP";

Seems '?>' missing.

Is that not compulsory or you missed it?

As per PHP coding standward, we don't need ending ?>

From

http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-2/

The closing ?> tag MUST be omitted from files containing only PHP.

But I didn't get any error after removing the ; from end of the line. My code is:

Look like this is because latest PHP can handle single line PHP code with out ending semicolon. But we will need semicolon as almost every php code have more than one line.

Good, we can use signle quote instead of double quote, that is the recommended and faster way. For example

<?php 

echo '<B><h1>I have 10 cats and 2 dogs</h1></B>' ;

Don't use closing tag for PHP only code.

<?php

echo "I am an Indian!";

This is fine.
