Don't forget, you can make a PHP web server and look at it using your web browser if you use the following command:
php -S 127.0.0.1:5000
You can change 5000 to any number you like, but usually between 5000 and 10,000.
Let's make a PHP file that creates a wepbage, by echo-ing some HTML.
<?php echo " <p>Chip wants to make some biscuits. He has no sugar.</p> <p>He goes to a supermarket. He gets some crisps.</p> <p>He goes to a small shop. He gets a book.</p> "; ?>
You can use anything in PHP when you are running in a web-page, but you should output HTML for the browser.
<?php
$name1 = "Ian";
$name2 = "Erica";
$animal = "Dino";
echo "<h1>This is the story of {$name1}.</h1>";
echo "<h2>Chapter 1: The beginning</h2>";
echo "<p>One day, {$name1} was bitten by a ";
echo "<strong>{$animal}</strong>. ";
echo "The {$animal} was magic, and {$name1} became ";
echo "<em>{$animal}{$name1}.</em></p>";
echo "<p>The next day, {$animal}{$name1} saw {$name2}. ";
echo "{$name2} said, why are you a {$animal}? ";
echo "{$name1} said, \"I don't know.\" ";
echo "The end!</p>";
?>
Make your own funny story.
