PHP is used with HTML to interact with the web server to process forms, access and manipulate database information and a variety of other processes. HTML alone cannot interact directly with the web server. HTML is primarily used to tell the browser where to place text and images to create the web page. PHP interacts directly with the server to process data and display it on the web page using HTML. You can display a web page with only HTML, but if you have any data in a database on your server, for instance, you must also use PHP (or a similar programming language like ASP, Perl, etc.) to access that data.
Quite a few websites, if not a majority, only need HTML to display their information. PHP is definitely not required in many cases. HTML, or an XML variation, is alway required to display a web page.
there are in fact two basic methods - one is called minimal PHP, and the second tends to be referred to as the CGI-way. minimal php means that you're making php secions in HTML only where really necessary (using the php section begin (<?php ) and end (?> ) tags.). the CGI-way, or maximum PHP means, that you're in fact embedding HTML into strings in php, and the whole page is echo()ed. the second way tends to be viewed as an abuse of php by some people, as php was meant to be "templating" language, and designed to be used mainly the first way.
PHP is server-side, the browser itself does not interpret it. Rather, the browser sends a query to the server, and the PHP scripting generates custom HTML document. It is this HTML that you are seeing the source code of.
Yep. We do it all the time. One way is to simply tell PHP that you want the tags echoed. Like so: <?php echo('<b>Hi</b> Nice to meet you!'); ?> Sometimes you want instead to simply use the PHP in parts of a page and leave the rest. You can do this, too. <body> <div class="login"> <?php if($user->loggedIn()){ ?> <b>Hi!</b> <?php }else{ ?> <!-- HTML FORM HERE --> <?php } ?> </div> </body>
You can't. Frontpage is just an editor, and you can't connect mySQL to HTML. You can do it with PHP, though.
AnswerThe web browser cannot tell whether the page information arriving at the browser comes from a PHP source or an HTML source. So if the HTML version works and the PHP version CSS is broken you have translated the page incorrectly. Examine the page source from the browser window for both versions and compare them closely. The PHP version must reference the CSS file correctly in the header. Check that in particular. :]
Its done exactly the same as when you put it in an HTML file. There are 2 ways you can do it: <html> <?php // php stuff ?> </html> Or you can do it like this: <?php echo "<html>"; // php stuff echo "</html>"; ?>
You can't use PHP in an HTML document, but you can use HTML in PHP script.
in programming, single quotes are for characters, and double quotes are for string, but in php, javascript, html, css i don't see any difference between the two.
change the extention of the .HTML file to .php and then open the file that was previously HTML and put <?php include ("path/to/second/php/file.php"); ?> so for example if i have page1.HTML and page2.php i rename page1.HTML to page1.php and then put <?php include ("page2.php"); ?> where i want page2 to appear. Note: Any HTML file can be renamed to have a .php extention even if it doesnt contain any PHP.
If you want to show the folder in html just use link reference in html. For example: <a href="/path/to/folder">PHP File Project</a> If it is on a server do remember to get real path of folder
Build your form in HTML and specify your PHP file in the action of the document. HTML does the form stuff, PHP the processing (although you can - of course - use HTML inside PHP via print() or echo(), too)
Via AJAX. Another simpler way would be to use form elements and submit them via html and let PHP process the data. Processed data can be output in html form via echo or print statements in php.
In truth, there's almost no difference between the HTML used in web 2.0 applications, and the HTML used in all other HTML applications. The difference is mainly in the way that the user interacts with the page, and this is provided mainly by the tighter coupling of JavaScript and backend programming like PHP, as well as the ability to transfer data between both using asynchronous calls (AJAX.)
In structure <?php ?> <html> </html> in application - one is static and another is dynamic. this much ......
Apache is a web server. PHP is a scripting language.
To do programming in PHP, there is often the dilemma of whether or not to place the code within the HTML. Depending on the writer's coding experience it is usually better to place the PHP within the HTML.
PHP support is not up to the clients (browsers). If it runs on the server, then HTML is served to the client. PHP may have generated the HTML, but that does not matter to the client.
