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.
