INTRODUCTION TO PHP

“PHP [Hypertext Preprocessor]”

In this post I’ll wrap about what is PHP and why you should use this. As mentioned in the official site of PHP [www.php.net], it is a widely-used general-purpose “scripting language” that is especially suited for “Web development” and can be “embedded into HTML”. If you are new to PHP and want to get some idea of how it works, then try their introductory tutorial. If you are a Web developer or want to be, then PHP will be widely used frequently. 

INTRODUCTION-

PHP stands for “Hypertext Preprocessor”. Regionally PHP stands for Personal Homepage but it now been changed to Hypertext Preprocessor. PHP is a server-side scripting language. So if you make PHP coding, it’s not accessible by the user of the website with PHP coding means they cannot view your coding by View Source option. With HTML being a markup language it is understood by the browser and PHP code inside it is understood by the web server. So it is compiled server-side and gives output on the website. 

FACEBOOK USE PHP-

The trendiest example for the use of PHP over web is Facebook. Facebook is a social networking website, store lots of data in database so we can combine PHP with database using Mysql, which is widely used powerful database around. This indicates that PHP is widely used in web today so it has a broad value in this period. 

GET STARTED- 

You will be required to test coding for PHP, for this you can check with your host that they allow PHP extension. But if you want to test this locally on computer then you can do this by using certain tool to make your computer a mini web server. 

TOOL RECOMMENDATIONS-

• “XAMPP” [ http://www.apachefriends.or/en/xampp.html]

• “WAMP” [ http://www.wampserver.com/en/ ]

I personally use Xampp, so I’ll tell you about the same but you can download Wamp and test the coding.

FOR XAMPP- Go to the above link to download this tool and I’ll recommend you to download the “Installer” for it. Then after installation you are ready to test your coding.

XAMPP CONTROL PANEL-

After complete installation, open the Xampp control panel application, you can see the above screenshot. It’s a control panel for the services included with the Xampp, which is available from Program Files in Windows. You want to make sure Apache and Mysql are running, if they are not running then simply click on “Start” button. 

TESTING WEB SERVER-

First thing we want to do is to test the web server. For that you’ll have to open localhost in browser, which can be done by opening 127.0.0.1 in address field or you can use “localhost” (without quotes). Just see below screenshot for this-

This shows that you have successfully installed Xampp to your system.

In my next post I’ll start with the coding in PHP. This post is simply the introductory one so I’m terminating it here. Have any doubts? Do feel free to leave a comment which will be soon cleared. Thanks for giving your precious time on this post. Have Peace..!!

The client software is available for Android, BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10, IOS, Series 40, Symbian (S60), and Windows Phone. But it would be better for the people who mostly work on computer/ laptop to run this application on Pc. So for them here is an exciting post on how to run Whatsapp on Pc.

METHODS TO DOWNLOAD WHATSAPP FOR PC-

In this post I’ll talk about .apk file for Whatsapp which can be installed in two ways-

1^ST METHOD-

Download the .apk file for Whatsapp from any site providing download link for it. Just google it and you’ll get the same.

2^nd METHOD-

For this method you need to refer my previous post on Bluestack for Windows/ Mac Os. Bluestack is a kind of Android emulator which runs Android applications on Pc. For this you will be required to have internet connection to download Whatsapp using Bluestack. I have provided offline installer for Bluestack for your ease. You can see the above screenshot for the same.

INTRODUCTION TO HTML- WEB DEVELOPMENT

WEB DEVELOPMENT

Welcome to the very first tutorial in Hypertext Mark-up Language, in short HTML which is used in web development or we can say for building up of a website. HTML is widely used in approximately every site we are dealing over internet. Although there are many other languages too but here we are focusing on HTML. Let’s learn in detail about HTML-

INTRODUCTION TO HTML-

HTML is developed as a subset of SGML (Standard Generalized Mark-up Language), which is a higher-level mark-up language. HTML is ideal for transmission across the internet to many different types of computers, users and browser applications. HTML lets you, the designer, create pages that you are reasonably sure can be read by the entire population of the web. In common language, HTML lets you create a website in the way you want your webpage to look like.

UNIFORM RESOURCE LOCATOR (URL)-

As you read that HTML is ideal for transmission across internet, hence this exchange cannot take place unless the information being requested is unlikely identified. The technique used to address documents on the Web is called the Uniform Resource Locator (URL). A URL specifies the exact location of a resource (typically a file) on the Internet.

A URL normally takes the form-

<protocol>://<web-server-name>/<directory>-name>/<file-name>

For example:

http://clearquery.blogspot.com/web-development/index.html

HTML LEVELS-

There are four levels, or versions of HTML-

LEVEL 0 - The minimum tags which constitute an HTML document.

LEVEL 1 - Level 0 tags + Tags for highlighting and images.

LEVEL 2 - Level 0 + Level 1 + Form tags.

LEVEL 3 – Level 0 + Level 1 + Level 2 + Support for client-side image maps and scripts, and table markup elements.

We will deal with all of this in our later tutorials.

TOOLS FOR WEB PUBLISHING-

As basic building block of an HTML page is text, so to create these pages, all you need is a text editor and a web browser.

RECOMMENDATIONS-

·         NOTEPAD++ [TEXT EDITOR]

·         MOZILLA FIREFOX [BROWSER]

EXPLAINATION OF BASIC TAGS-

·         Each and every HTML coding starts and ends with <html> & </html> tags respectively.

                        <html> - Open tag for HTML.

                        </html> - Closing tag for HTML. [ For closing tags we use / ]

·         Then it comes the turn for Head tag. Under head tag we use Title tag. Each webpage has a title like take an example of www.facebook.com, its title is “Welcome to the Facebook”.

<head>

<title>Welcome to the Facebook</title>

</head>

·         After this Body tag come into consideration. Here we input the whole work piece which we want to display on our webpage.

<body>

:::::::::::::::Website Content::::::::::::::::

</body>

APPLICATION-

Let us look at the most basic coding for HTML-

<html>

<head>

<title>Query Made Easy !!!</title>

</head>

<body>

This is my blog….:D

</body>

</html>

This is all we have in this basic tutorial; hope you’ve learnt what is HTML. Visit us daily to learn more. Don’t forget to subscribe us Via Mail or Feed. If you have any confusion regarding tags then leave a comment, we’ll get back to you with solution asap. Thanks for your time. Have Peace..!!
