    Tutorial P1 – Intro to PHP (1.5 hours)


    Aim: To understand how PHP works

     You can use an online PHP server or XAMPP


     If using Xampp ensure that it is installed in your PC. Open XAMPP Control Panel and
    ensure that Apache, MySql and Filezilla are running (in green).

    1. First write your first php page using Notepad. Check to see the page is working fine.
    Save it as page.php inside folder C:XAMPP/htdocs/.

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>My first PHP page</title>
    </head>
    <body>

    <?php

    echo "<h1>Hello World!</h1>";

    ?>

    </body>
    </html>

    2. Make sure XAMPP is running. Open your browser and type http://localhost/ in the address bar.
    If XAMPP is running you will see a Welcome page. Now type http://localhost/page.php - What
    do you see? Also, comment about the source code when you view the source code.

    When we view the source code, we cannot see the PHP code. Whatever enclosed in the PHP
    code, it cannot be seen.

    3. Add the code to display the server’s date into page.php. Save and view.

    echo date("r");
    echo "<p>Today it's " . date("l") . "</p>";

    4. We can also use predefined variables as follows. Insert the following inside the php section::

    $file = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

    $user = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

    $address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

    The above defines the present file you are using, the web browser you are using and your IP
    address as seen by the server.

    5. This is how you can display the variables:

    echo "<p>You are running the file <b>$file</b>.</p>\n";


    echo "<p>You are viewing this page using:<br /><b>$user</b><br />from the IP
    address:<br /><b>$address</b></p>\n";

    6. Comment about the php file when viewed from your browser and also the source code:
    Name:__Tan Wan Sean
    __________________________________ Date: ______4/8/2020__________

    The code in the php appeared in the source code by uploading the php file.

    7. Find what the following codes do:

    echo date("y") - Shows the 2 digits of the year


    echo date("m") - Shows a month
    echo date("n") - numeric representation of a month (form 01 -12)
    echo date("F") - full textual representation of a month (January through
    December)
    echo date("d") - represent the day of the month
    echo date("l") - the weekday of today (Monday, Tuesday etc.)

    Can you combine them all in one line? Write you code below:
    <?php
    echo "Today is " . date("l, y/m/d, F-(n)") . "<br>";
    ?>

    Screenshot your output:


    Name:__Tan Wan Sean
    __________________________________ Date: ______4/8/2020__________

    Comment on your code:

    Today is Monday, 20/08/03, August-(8) is in the source code .

    8. Upload your file into InfinityFree server – does it work? Comment about the date/time.

    Yes, it works. The date and time are displayed using the echo date function.

    Screenshot your output:
