linuxStat PHP Documentation
A PHP program can be embedded in HTML documents.
It is preceded by the tag
<?php and followed by the tag ?>.
The following is an HTML document containing a PHP program
that will print out the text: "I love Linux.".
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=us-ascii">
<title>Executed on Dell Server, Intel Processor, created on HP laptop</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#0F243E" text="#FFFF00" lang=EN-US>
<font size="5">
<?php
print "I love Linux.";
?>
</font>
</body>
</html>
The above example PHP program has a single print statement in it.
The print statement prints out a line of text. Text is also known as string.
Instead of using the term text, I will use the term string.
The print statement is followed by a ;.
Every PHP statement
must be followed by a ;.
I have saved the above HTML document in a file called example1.php
in the directory PHP.
If you click the following link
