Current Updates
- Due to some errors with Ubuntu I was unable to install LAMP on my local install of Ubuntu during the first quarter
- I was informed of another solution by Mr. Bui, XAMPP is similar to LAMP but it has PHP, MySQL, and Apache condensed into one program.
- XAMPP install was successful. I am now moving onto basic PHP tutorials. My first project will be creating a basic PHP Address Book
- I plan to use my netbook's install of dreamweaver to code and port the documents over to my Ubuntu install using a program called Dropbox.
- I have also installed WAMPP on my netbook as a backup just in case XAMPP doesn't working on the local install of Ubuntu
Completed Code
Hello, World
Description: A basic beginner script that displays "Hello, world" in the browser window.
<?php
echo "?Hello world";
exit();
?>
Working with Variables
Description: "$myVariable" is assigned the string value of "Sean" that variable is then echoed to the browser printing "Hello, Sean." A conditional then checks to see if "$myVariable" is set as "Sean" if it is "Welcome Back!" will be printed, if it is not "Where's Sean?" will be printed.
<?php
$myVariable = 'Sean';
echo 'Hello, ' . $myVariable . '.';
if ($myVariable == 'Sean') {
print '<br/ >Welcome Back!';
} else {
print "<br/ >Where's Sean?";
}
?>
