Getting Started With PHP

Introduction

Hey there!, welcome, this is where you get to install some stuff you need in order to get started with ground breaking PHP.

So let's get started with first steps.

Our Tools

To build a website with PHP, your web server needs to support PHP and you may need a few tools to build your website locally.

If your web server supports PHP all you need to do is create a file with a .php extension and with your PHP code in it and then your server handles the rest.

To develop locally (on your computer) you'll need the following;

  •   APACHE - This install a web server on your computer.
  • SQL - This covers your database needs (even if you do not understand that, please just go ahead and get it, I will explain later)
  • PHP (The Main Guy) - This is the most important.

And ain't you happy, you're a PHP prodigy already.
