    This document provides an overview of PHP and how it compares to HTML and JavaScript for server-side and client-side programming. PHP code is embedded within HTML and run on the server to dynamically generate webpage content before sending the page to the client. It allows accessing of databases and other services on the server, with the client only receiving the final HTML output. HTML is used to structure webpages and PHP extends its functionality by running custom code and accessing databases on the server.

    • We must be mindful that we are writing a web page
    HTML

    • To work with PHP we need to know the basics of HTML so that we can
    code HTML files

    • HTML uses markup tags to mark the beginning and end of different
    sections

    • Sections may be nested inside other sections


    Example 01
    <! DOCTYPE HTML>
    <table>

    </tr>

    <html lang = "en">


    <caption>Team Member Ages</caption>

    Viewing a HTML file

    • We can see how a HTML file will look on the web by opening it in a
    browser

    • However that displays it locally

    • It might work differently when viewed on the web. Many web servers, for
    example, use case sensitive file names

    HTTP Response

    • So it's better to view the HTML file via a web server

    • When using the XAMP web server we place the pages in the htdocs folder

    • In the browser we preface the file name with localhost

    • http://localhost/example01.html
    Viewing a HTML file

    • People used to coding HTML typically view


    the HTML file I the browser locally

    • But when we working with PHP we must


    always view the file via the web server
