How do I add PHP code?
Like this...
PHP Code:
<?php
//php code here
?>
In this example // makes that line a comment, and <?php tells the computer to interpret the next lines until the ?> as php.
How do I do and "if then" statement in PHP?
Like this...
PHP Code:
<?php
$number=3;
if ($number==3)
{ echo("hello"); }
else
{ echo("goodbye"); }
?>
In php variables are defined with a $ before them, so when the code above says $number=3 it is saying that the variable number is equal to 3. The if statement is comparing the variable number to the number 3. (the == means that it should compare the 2) Echo is a function that can be used to print words on the screen. The ; sign means that it is the end of a statement.
Where can I learn more about PHP?
http://php.net/ (the official php website) is a good place to start.
