How to put PHP into your website

werts15 · **How to put PHP into your website -** 06-08-2012, 10:23 PM

I'm new, and I made a website with the website builder, but I cannot figure out how to put PHP into the website. I tried putting it in the HTML part, but it messed up. Can someone please explain how to put PHP into my website? Thanks in advance.

I once try inserting php code, but you can not directly. the only way that I was using iframe. iframe you can call a php file.

to insert the iframe html code you need to create a post and editing options you add the iframe code.

Here is a test script that works in my accounts

copy the code below - with copy/paste into a file
be sure to end your file name with [ .php ]
put the file in you site's [ public_html ] folder
then in your Web browser enter
[ yousitedomain/yourfilename.php ]

PHP Code:


			
<?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ?>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

  <head>

    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">



    <title>

      Test Hello World

    </title>

  </head>

<body>



<?php print '<h1>Hello World</h1>'; ?>



<br><br>



<?php

print "PHP version ==> " . phpversion() . "<br><br>\n";

print "Server date and time is ==> " . date("D M j,Y H:i:s T e",time()) . "<br>\n";

?>



</body>

</html>

PHP source code must be in PHP Tags:

PHP Code:


			
<?



?>

and HTML source can't be inside unless in `echo` functions ex:
echo "<br />";
HTML can go above or below PHP Tags.
Hope it helps;

Also, in case you don't know, be careful with ".

Ex: If you want to write

<input type="text" .....

You should write it (inside the php code) :

echo "<input type=\"text\" ....

So the " are not messed up.

When PHP parses a file, it looks for opening and closing tags, which are <?php and ?>

PHP also allows for short tags <? and ?> (which are discouraged because they are only available if enabled with short_open_tag php.ini configuration file directive, or if PHP was configured with the --enable-short-tags option

while you did not ask how to put HTML code inside PHP code
here is one way to put a whole HTML page inside PHP code

PHP Code:


			
<?php

print <<<here

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

  <head>

    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">



    <title>

      Test Hello World

    </title>

  </head>

<body>



<h1>Hello World</h1>'



</body>

</html>

here;

?>

You can mix HTML and PHP code as much as you like in your source file

Here is a PHP source file that prints its own source code on a web page
there is more to printing source code on a web page than ==> \" <==

you can see the web page - made with this code - here

http://realhandydata.info/hello_world.php

PHP Code:


			
<?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ?>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

  <head>

    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">



    <title>

      Test Hello World

    </title>

  </head>

<body>



<?php print '<h1>Hello World</h1>'; ?>



<br><br>



<?php

print "PHP version ==> " . phpversion() . "<br><br>\n";

print "Server date and time is ==> " . date("D M j,Y H:i:s T e",time()) . "<br>\n";

?>
