PHP Paxton's Web Development School Part: 1

[Paxton]

I really want to learn PHP.

<?php

$name = "Paxton";
echo $name;

?>

<?php

//Config
$pwn = 5;
echo $pwn;

//Content
if ($pwn == 7)
{
echo "<br>";
echo "It doesn't work!";
}
else if($pwn != 7)
{
echo "<br>";
echo "I learned something.";
}

?>

PHP is not everything, in web development you need to know few languages, if you don't know basic HTML/XHTML there is no point of learning PHP also CSS would be usefull.

Why no just:

if ($pwn == 7)
{
it doesn't... }
[B]else[/B]
{
i learned...
}

if ($pwn == 7)
{
it doesn't... }
[B]else[/B]
{
i learned...
}

Same outcome isn't it :<?

I know is shorter by your way, but I'm learning...

[Pro Warbringer]

Still doesnt work any help please?

 

[Evil Mark]

Repp + for the good work.

 

[Xexza]

I guess it's a good tutorial, but really, you basically just write PHP snippets. PHP is not the first step.
Explain domain names, hosting, more simple languages like html.

<?php
$hisname = 'paxton';
echo $hisname;
?>

<?php 
$a = 4;
$b = 7;
$sum = $a+$b;

if ($sum == 10) 
{
echo "i didnt learn";
}
else if ($sum == 9)
{
echo "I think i learned";
}
else
{
echo "Noob.";
}
?>

<?php
//CONFIG
$x = 1;
$y = A;
if ($x == '1' && $y == 'A')
{
echo "I guess this tutorial did help:)";
}
else
{
echo "Is this shit busted?";
}
?>

 

[troja]

@up "{" "}", not "(" and ")" in if, then, else.

 

[Synthetic_]

fixed

Second:

<?php
/*The very big
&useless config,
and strings*/
$name = 'SyntheticX';
$a = 'learned';
$b = 'a lot';
$c = 'helpful';
$d = 'nothing';
$e = 'very';
$f = 'Bye';
$g = '!';
$h = 'true';
$i = 'false';
//Start Code plx
if ($l == $t)
{
echo "$name '$a' '$b' '$g'";
}
else if ($l == $f)
{
echo "$name '$a' '$d' '$f' '$g'";
}
//code ends here
?>

Fixed? I think

1) Variable names may not start with numeric characters. Alphabetical and underscores are the only allowed first character.
2) When defining a variable, you should always end it with a semi-colon.
3) Any string values must always be surrounded by either single or double quotation marks. Otherwise caught as a constant.
4) Putting the and-symbol (&) in front of a variable means that you are passing by the reference (e.g. when trying to modify a value through functions). http://uk.php.net/manual/en/language.references.pass.php

Other then that, good job!

 

[Synthetic_]

Yeah, using the an percent(&) was a typo, but I think I fixed the rest? And thanks^_^

 

[Chris]

You missed point 3.

$var = 'value';

not

$var = value;

:- )

 

[Synthetic_]
