Getting started with PHP

PHP runs on the server and sends HTML to the browser. Install it directly or through XAMPP, then run php -S localhost:8000 in your project folder.

<?php
$name = "Kavin";
$age = 20;
echo "Hello $name, you are $age\n";
echo strtoupper($name) . " has " . strlen($name) . " letters\n";

• Variables start with $.
• Statements end with a semicolon.
• The dot joins strings.
• Double quotes fill in variables; single quotes do not.
