I am very new to this. When you "save as" with html, css, and php all used on the same page, you have to save the file as .php ??? I am starting from complete scratch so i apologise if my question is foolish.

I have a question. What does PHP actually do?? I am kind of confused. I know how to use html and css but what other things does PHP do?

[killerphp]

@123nabitnow PHP can be used for most web based applications and is one of the most versatile web programming languages out there. You can build shopping carts, login systems, etc.

This is great, and really helpful - the first video on youtube thats actually helped me.

But i have one question - is there a difference between 'Echo' and 'Print' that will affect me later on, or can i carry on using Echo instead of print?

Im guessing they do the same thing: They echo/print what your typing onto the page.

Depends on who's listening ... I designed these videos to appeal to designers and people who have never looked at programming before - so the videos are simple.
