PHP Syntax

The PHP script is executed on the server, and the plain HTML result is sent back to the browser.

Basic PHP Syntax

A PHP script can be placed anywhere in the document.
A PHP script starts with <?php and ends with ?>:
<?php
// PHP code goes here
?>
The default file extension for PHP files is ".php".
A PHP file normally contains HTML tags, and some PHP scripting code.
Below, we have an example of a simple PHP file, with a PHP script that sends the text "Hello World!" back to the browser:

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My first PHP page</h1>

<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>


</body>
</html> 
 

Comments in PHP

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
//This is a PHP comment line

/*
This is
a PHP comment
block
*/
?>


</body>
</html>
