Outputting A String

Thank you for reading my Blog.
We have done in previous lesson use PHP " echo " .we can also use the "ptint" function as like as C programming.
You can place either a string variable or you can use quotes,like i do below, to create a string that the echo/print function will output.

**************************************
<body>
<?php
$myString="Hello ! Welcome to Mint PHP ";
echo $myString."<br/>";
echo 'I love PHP :)'."<br/>";
print "You can also use print as like as \"echo\".";
?>

Basic Knowledge About PHP

Do you know what is PHP ?
Here some basic things about PHP.
If you know the C/C++, HTML,CSS & JavaScript than it will be more easier to understand PHP ?

PHP is a server-side scripting language, like ASP.
PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.
PHP is an open source software.

PHP - Variables

What do you know about PHP variables ?
A variable is a means of storing a value,such as text string "Hello World" or the integer value.
In PHP you define a variable with the following form :

$variable_name = "value";

$myString = "Hello";

Note:
Keep it on your mind,
If you forget that dollar sign at the beginning, it will not work. this is a common mistake for new programmer!
