Understanding Installations
Binary format (or binaries) refer to compiled files, such as executable installation programs
Source code is the original programming code in which an application was written
Source code must be compiled, or processed, and assembled into an executable format before it is used
Compiled programs only need to be recompiled when their code changes

Installing and Configuring a Web Server
Apache is the most popular Web server software used on the Internet
Microsoft IIS for Windows is the second most popular server software
In Windows, a service refers to a program that performs a specific function to support other programs

PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-30
Creating Basic PHP Scripts
Embedded scripting languages (JavaScript or PHP) refer to code that is embedded within a Web page (either an HTML or XHTML document)
This code is typed directly into a Web page as a separate section
A Web page document containing PHP code must have an extension of .php
PHP code is never sent to a client’s Web browser
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-31
Creating Basic PHP Scripts
The Web page generated from the PHP code, and HTML or XHTML elements found within the PHP file, is returned to the client
A PHP file that does not contain any PHP code should have an .html extension
.php is the default extension that most Web servers use to process PHP scripts
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-32
Creating PHP Code Blocks
Code declaration blocks are separate sections within a Web page that are interpreted by the scripting engine
There are four types of code declaration blocks: Standard PHP script delimiters The <script> element Short PHP script delimiters ASP-style script delimiters
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-33
Standard PHP Script Delimiters
A delimiter is a character or sequence of characters used to mark the beginning and end of a code segment
The standard method of writing PHP code declaration blocks is to use the <?php and ?> script delimiters
The individual lines of code that make up a PHP script are called statements
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-34
The <script> Element
The <script> element identifies a script section in a Web page document
For client-side scripting, the type attribute of the <script> element indicates which scripting language and version is being used
When the <script> element is used with PHP, you do not include the type attribute
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-35
Short PHP Script Delimiters
The syntax for the short PHP script delimiters is
<? statements; ?> Short delimiters can be disabled in a Web server’s
php.ini configuration file PHP scripts will not work if your Web site ISP does
not support short PHP script delimiters Short delimiters can be used in XHTML documents,
but not in XML documents
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-36
ASP-Style Script Delimiters
The syntax for the ASP-style script delimiters is
<% statements; %> ASP-style script delimiters can be used in XHTML
documents, but not in XML documents ASP-style script delimiters can be enabled or
disabled in the php.ini configuration file To enable or disable ASP-style script delimiters,
assign a value of “On” or “Off ” to the asp_tags directive in the php.ini configuration file
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-37
Understanding Functions
A function refers to a procedure that performs a specific task
To execute a function, you must invoke, or call, it from somewhere in the script
A function call is the function name followed by any data that the function needs
The data (in parentheses following the function name) are called arguments or actual parameters
Sending data to a called function is called passing arguments
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-38
Displaying Script Results
To return to the client the results of any processing that occurs within a PHP code block, you must use an echo() statement or the print() statement
The echo() and print() statements create new text on a Web page that is returned as a response to a client
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-39
Displaying Script Results

Figure 2-13 PHP Diagnostic Information Web page
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-40
Displaying Script Results
The echo() and print() statements are language constructs of the PHP programming language
A programming language construct refers to a built-in feature of a programming language
The echo() and print() statements are virtually identical except: The print() statement returns a value of 1 if
it is successful It returns a value of 0 if it is not successful
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-41
Displaying Script Results
Use the echo() and print() statements to return the results of a PHP script within a Web page that is returned to a client
A text string, or literal string, is text that is contained within double or single quotation marks
To pass multiple arguments to the echo() and print() statements, separate them with commas like arguments passed to a function
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-42
Creating Multiple Code Declaration Blocks
For multiple script sections in a document, include a separate code declaration block for each section
...</head><body><h1>Multiple Script Sections</h1><h2>First Script Section</h2><?php echo “<p>Output from the first script section.</p>”;?><h2>Second Script Section</h2><?php echo “<p>Output from the second script section.</p>”;?></body></html>
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-43
Creating Multiple Code Declaration Blocks
PHP code declaration blocks execute on a Web server before a Web page is sent to a client
...
</head>
<body>
<h1>Multiple Script Sections</h1>
<h2>First Script Section</h2>
<p>Output from the first script section.</p>
<h2>Second Script Section</h2>
<p>Output from the second script section.</p>
</body>
</html>

Case Sensitivity in PHP
Programming language constructs in PHP are mostly case insensitive
<?php
echo “<p>Explore <strong>Africa</strong>, <br />”;
Echo “<strong>South America</strong>, <br />”;
ECHO “ and <strong>Australia</strong>!</p>”;
?>
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-46
Adding Comments to a PHP Script
Comments are nonprinting lines placed in code such as: The name of the script Your name and the date you created the program Notes to yourself Instructions to future programmers who might
need to modify your work
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-47
Adding Comments to a PHP Script
Line comments hide a single line of code Add // or # before the text
Block comments hide multiple lines of code Add /* to the first line of code And */ after the last character in the code
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-48
Adding Comments to a PHP Script
<?php/*This line is part of the block comment.This line is also part of the block comment.*/echo “<h1>Comments Example</h1>”; // Line comments can followcode statements// This line comment takes up an entire line.# This is another way of creating a line comment./* This is another way of creating a block comment. */?>

Summary
Binary format (or “binaries”) refers to files that can be in the form of executable installation programs
Source code is the original programming code in which an application was written
Directives define information about how a program should be configured
JavaScript and PHP are both referred to as embedded scripting languages
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-50
Summary
You write PHP scripts within code declaration blocks, which are separate sections within a Web page that are interpreted by the scripting engine
The individual lines of code that make up a PHP script are called statements
The term function refers to a procedure (or individual statements grouped into a logical unit) that perform a specific task
PHP Programming with MySQL Slide 2-51
Summary
The term programming language construct refers to a built-in feature of a programming language
Programming language constructs in PHP are mostly case insensitive, although there are some exceptions
Comments are nonprinting lines that you place in code to contain various types of remarks
