I create a new HTML file for my project using Dreamweaver and i added a simple php code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo "My first PHP script!";
?>
</body>
</html>
so far nothing is appearing while i open the file with google chrome and IE, any thoughts?
PHP has to be executed on the server. Upload it to a web server that supports PHP, or install your own web server locally such as WAMP. You then need to access the file with a URL rather than just opening it. A local URL will look like http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/.
Your file also needs to have the extension .php if it contains PHP code. If you really want to use PHP inside a .html file, your web server will need to be set up specially to handle this.
PHP requires a webserver and an interpreter. Browsers cannot handle PHP on its own.
Look at XAMPP
A good idea to check if your php file is working properly is to load phpinfo function.
This function will show details about your PHP installation:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
If what you see on the screen is this php code with the entire opening and closing tags (), then you are not running the page with PHP.

I have a html template with html,css and javascript...can anyone help me in converting this html template to php page.I am a beginner in php so kindly send me some tutorials which explains this conversion
change the format of page to index.html to index.php
if you write php code on .php page :-
<?php
//your php code
?>
Set Up PHP on Your Own PC However, if your server does not support
PHP, you must:
install a web server install PHP install a database, such as MySQL The
official PHP website (PHP.net) has installation instructions for PHP:
http://php.net/manual/en/install.php
PHP Tutorial
HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript can be embedded with each other without any issue.
We can write any HTML, JavaScript or CSS code in PHP.
So, you can rename your .html file to .php.
And run this PHP on a web server e.g. WAMP server.
Just place code inside <?php ?> with file extension of .php
<?php
#php code
?>

Change the extension of your file like .html to .php and put your php code in it as your requirement.
Just change the format from .html to .php inserting <?php ?> is not essential it will work fine with out adding it.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<body>
<?php
//printing
echo "<p>Hello, World</p>";
?>
</body>
</html>
This is suppose to be a basic hello world example but when I run it in the browser I get an extra "; ?>
Hello, World
"; ?>
Why is that?
EDIT: Yes the file extension is php
EDIT2: I created the file with Notepadd++. I ran the file by right clicking the file and open with chrome.
EDIT3: Okay so what I gathered is that I can't just run the file locally. I will try through a web server. Thank you for the responses so far!
I believe your problem is that you do not have a local server such as xampp.
I would suggest downloading xampp and then follow the instructions for running a php file.
Make sure you have .php as the file extension
You are probably not running your file through your web server, but you are opening it locally.
Make sure your url is something like http://localhost/myFile.php. And not c:\documents and settings\myName\Desktop\myFile.php.
"I created the file with Notepadd++. I ran the file by right clicking
the file and open with chrome."
You are saying your problem. PHP files are not like HTML files. They must be compiled before served.
For example:
<html><body><?php echo date("Y"); ?><body><html>
will be expected to show the system year. If you try to open it browser does not recognize PHP scripts and treats that function as a text and you see
echo date("Y"); ?>
Why don't you see <?php ? Because after <character, the browser thinks that there is an HTML tag coming.
If you run that PHP file correctly and then look at the source HTML you will see
<html><body>2014<body><html>
You must move the file to web server directory like c:\xampp\www or to c:\wamp\www.
Then run apache server.
After that open a browser window and type localhost/yourfile.php:80
80 could vary in according to your settings (Take a look at httpd.conf file).
so I'm basically brand new to web based stuff. My university has given me a cPanel hosted server. I need to implement some basic php functions for my main web page.
This is what my cpanel looks like if it helps:
So in my index.html file I have:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Current Date/Time</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
echo date("l");
echo "Hello World!";
?>
</h3>
</body>
</html>
But none of the php echo stuff is displaying. I'm not sure if my server actually knows what to do with an html file with php in it.
My instructors have told me: the php file needs to be deployed to public_html folder using the file manager in CPanel.
But i'm not really sure what needs to go into the .php file and how to get my .html file to utilize it.
Thanks for your patience.
Your file name needs to be .php. If the web server is set up with PHP (which I'm going to assume it is) then it will handle the php file fine.
Rename the index.html for now and by default the index.php will be the first page to load.
The file you are using is index.html. This means that it can only display static text and that's the reason why your PHP code is not working.
All you have to do is change the extension from .html to .php then your PHP code should work.
Although I would suggest you Google a few Intro. to HTML and PHP tutorials to get you going on the basics
The file's extension needs to be changed from *.html to *.php or the PHP won't execute, it'll just be treated like raw HTML.
Here's a quick very basic step-by-step of what's happening:
The client requests index.php
Your web server recognizes the *.php extension and tells PHP to interpret it
PHP parses the text looking for PHP code, and evaluates that code, then replaces the PHP code with the output of that PHP code (if any)
For example:
$strVar = 'world';
echo '<span class="contentText">hello ' . $strVar . '</span><br />';
is replaced with that code's output:
<span class="contentText">hello world</span><br />
The resulting HTML is then returned to the client as content to be rendered by the client's web browser
The client's web browser parses the HTML and renders a web page
I have a simple code in html (image 1). The code is in the image i uploaded. When i open/run the file in Google chrome or Mozilla it generates wrong code. I tried to 'inspect element in Google Chrome and the code shown is in image 2. It messes up all the code because it generates it like a comment quote.
Why is this happening? Why the quote is transformed into a comment quote?
It looks like the PHP is not being parsed, and the PHP tags are being treated by the browser as comments.
Are you sure that your code is contained within a .php file and that PHP is installed and running on your server?
it seems like you have written php(.php) code in html(.html) file. Confirm your file type
Your server is not configured properly or XAMPP , WAMPP is not installed properly or the remote server has issue or you are running it directly from a file.So:
1-Check Apache if it is parsing PHP.
2-Check if PHP is installed.
3-Check if apache configured ports are free.
4-Ask for support in your contro panel of your hosting providers(if it is on a remote server).
5-Don't double click the PHP file.
6-Check the file extension.
7-Check your .htaccess file(if you have one).
8-Check PHP logs.
This should help you.
For my php I usually use something like this if you only want to out put text.
<?php
echo "<p>Hello world</p>";
?>
Now if you have a variable you will need to do it this way
<?php
echo "<p>Hello".$myname.", welcome to my world.</p>";
?>
Now if you need something in a quote inside the echo statement you should do something like this
<?php
echo "<p>'Hello world'</p>";
?>
It's a "Hello, World" code snippet. I have tried to run it using XAMPP, and I am using Dreamweaver to write the code. Upon execution, the page does not display "Hello, World!". What would have went wrong?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<title>Hello World | Hello and Welcome</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
Echo "Hello, World!";
?>
</body>
</html>
You are trying to execute PHP code on an HTML page. All PHP files should have the .php extension (implied from the OP's comments). Change your filename.
PHP handlers don't work in .html pages for efficiency reasons. When you use .html instead of .php, you are telling the server not to embed PHP in that page, to save server resources.
Echo would be better as echo.
Is the file extension .php, not .html?
Is PHP configured on the web server?
Please check all those out.
Either you're not saving the file in a php extension so the PHP engine doesn't run on it or your server isn't set up properly
It's working fine on IDEOne
The answer to change the extension to .php is correct, because by default it would be a waste of server resources to actually read every file to see if it contains PHP code in order to decide whether it should execute PHP processing on it.
That said if you really wanted to you can probably configure the server to serve up any file extension as PHP, even a made up one. There's nothing magical about the extension other than how it's configured to be handled.
for hello world program in php just follow this tutorial
but before that you should have wamp server or xamp server on your pc(wamp/xmap are open source software's and easily can found on google)
your 1st php program code:-
<?php
echo "hello world";
?>
output:-
hello world

after this tutorial you can able to move other intermediate level programs of php.
PHP is generally case sensitive (see: http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.basics.php).
So try changing Echo to echo.
