php Basic Syntax

In the given tutorial we will study how to write the basic syntax of php:

<?php

The above mentioned tag will be included in each php file and each php coding has to be written within this tag.

<?php

echo "Hello World";

We can combine both php and html file in a single file, following example illustrates that:

Code:

<html>

<body>This is html portion<br/></body>

</html>

<?php

echo"This is in php portion";

Output:

This is html portion
This is in php portion

echo"

This

php

portion";
