I hope we can share each other and learn syntax for every scripts in php programming. Basic PHP Syntax A PHP scripting block always starts with <?php and ends with ?>. A PHP scripting block can be placed anywhere in the document. On servers with shorthand support enabled you can start a scripting block with <? and end with ?>. However, for maximum compatibility, we recommend that you use the standard form (<?php) rather than the shorthand form. <?php ?> Code (markup): A PHP file normally contains HTML tags, just like an HTML file, and some PHP scripting code. Below, we have an example of a simple PHP script which sends the text "Hello World" to the browser: <html> <body> <?php echo "Hello World"; ?> </body> </html> Code (markup): Try to find out in your browser localhost or upload to your hosting support php

Variables in PHP Variables are used for storing a values, like text strings, numbers or arrays.
