PHP Tutorial #1 - Covering the basics

[LiPTACLV]

You got ucoz website!? hehe

[Schlabiiee]

Some what reminded me of java.

The whole if else statement.in java you'd do.

If(djjdkdjdhj)

{

}

else

{

}

[LieutenantRice]

@Schlabiiee and like visual basic... It's like any kind of programming really, they all follow the same basic concept.

[OriginLegacy]

Aha Nice tutorial mate but what the hell was that at 4:41

[IrresistiblyBetter]

mkay

[spark9of9creation]

what program do you write php on, i thought i could use notepad but it doesnt seem to save it as a php file, do i need a certain text editor?

[vaheks13]

@spark9of9creation

He uses SciTe. It's possible to write PHP in Notepad, just save it as .php.

I like Notepad++ the best.

[spark9of9creation]

@vaheks13 cheers, im using notepad i figured it out eventually just at the start had a problem saving it correctly

[TGFXxXMetin2]

@spark9of9creation

[Techz00r]

Good Job man, Thanks !! :D I subscribe

[FairlyWhite]

I thought this was a well-made intro video

[djnoentry]

@rajgy or it's just you who can't keep up with him? I believe you're the only one who posted this stupid comment...

[TheWords8u]

@rajgy ? Raigy, I was amused by the thought process that lead you to post, Your, Ahmm .." comment " ,. here I do Have some solutions that Might, Help you to get some satisfaction... step one. Ask For A Refund.. oh ... wait. no ask google to Fire the Rascal... oh .. wait.. No.. Ok so I don't have any solutions... sorry... anyhow.. I agree that People that take time to record tutorials, to Help other people should be Insulted and Belittled ! Aim 4 your Big Toe with your next Shot.

[rajgy]

@TheWords8u

Who the hell are you? Why do you write at all, if you can't realise that what was written, was ment not as insult, but as advice?

All right. There are no advice from me anymore. I hope you are satisfied now. In fact, I find this video even great (if I turn down the sound.)

[TheWords8u]

@rajgy you were not giving advice, you were raking the author over the coals. thus the drawn out response. there is an 8 year old child doing some very good programing tutorials here. when people beat them up over volume or speech, it provokes me to point it out in the most obnoxious way that I can come up with at that moment.

my comment to you was written on hour 53 of an emergency session. the video helped. your comment did not. advise should be gentle in the face of free GOOD and HELP

[TheWords8u]

@rajgy Also had your comment started with the LAST SENTENCE of the above comment I may not have been so Obnoxious with you. I am not trying to stop you from offering advice, advice is a good thing for those that need it.. Myself included. Just don't beat the person up that is trying to help on there own time out of a love for the subject they are teaching you. Thank You for removing the comments in question. that shows a Level of Class I did not expect. this post is part 2 the other pt1

[Newfoundlanddesigns]

Leaving out the opening and closing tags, here's what I wrote down: $number = 15;

if ($number > 10) echo "$number is greater than 20";

else echo "$number is not greater than 20";

However, on the page it read, "15 is greater than 20".

[manubv2]

@Newfoundlanddesigns

the the page display is corect...if ($number > 10) echo "$number is greater than 20";

make up you mind..in condition is 10..not 20!

[djnoentry]

@Newfoundlanddesigns First time I am learning PHP, this is the first time i see a tutorial, based on what I see it's you who want this written when you echo something rofl.. I believe that the echo will just spit out what you want. So basically whether what you said is true or not it will spit it out. PHP is a language afterall, not a magic calculator that will check your english and calculate whether the calculations you made is true or false :P

Correct me if i'm wrong eh :P

[MrDoozy2000]

Do you have to be good at math in order to be successful at PHP?

[444004541]

@MrDoozy2000 no you dont need to be good at math in order to learn php....its just a bunch of codes you need to memorize...

[MrDoozy2000]

@444004541 Thanks!

[Newfoundlanddesigns]

@MrDoozy2000 Yup, and I suck at Math.

[Bobster0007]

dont make much sense  to me mate

[TheLoneMercenary]

[coldironhands1]

@ThatRandomVloger lol

[ultrapeter29]

Hey guys! I want to ask you one question. If there would be a cheap ebook that covers the basics of php, would you buy it and how much would you pay?

[beehivethe3rd]

@ultrapeter29 1 DOLLA

[papisa03]

[uchitil]

Mumbling, muttering incomprehsible.

[eunhmie8]

[flakflak]

4:43 wtf?

[proudmanm1224]

i Quite like the the why present the informashion and i find it esay to lean the info

[ryanconn4]

Its a decent tutorial but you could have covered it in showing how to write a script, i have a few tuts on my channel, that covers basics while showing how to write a script.

[Riddlerx333x]

USE NOTEPAD++!

THUMBS UP!

[samiwistler]

Learning PHP is easy, following the changes is tough

[TheZjub]

Is 5 greater then 10 ?

[hippylegs]

What are the characters for the 'or' parameter?

[SaschaHeylik]

@hippylegs Press AltGr plus the key left to your Z key. It is ||

[Ihateyoubillclinton]

This is cool. You basically have a calculator for anything.

[jbcoldflames]

isnt this just HTML?

[ananui]

@jbcoldflames how is that html ?????????????????

[SaschaHeylik]

@jbcoldflames PHP outputs html.

[poap555]

How do i get the codes on a blanc page?

[younisraza]

Seems very old videos and now php has gone to php 5 and above. Are you going to upload new videos. Your tutorials are kinda very helpful but it seems some scripts are not working due to the reason they are old.

[tyronesixaxis]

|| && alot like C++ 

[tyronesixaxis]

That's Almost like C++ I could learn that easy

[purppp]

UMM KAYYY

[46ace]

"the basics" ( like what's it for? what can you do with it? why do I need to learn it????)

1:12 and off too find another "php basics video".

[MoshAndy]

Mmkay.

[MrSkoosm]

to open your file: go to xampp/htdocs and remove everything there. save your file there ending in .php Then in your browser type 127.0.0.1/thenameofyourfile

[radicalcam]

dicks

[FallForYou55]

uuuhg how do u get to the site?

[VisualIlusion]

@FallForYou55 Haha, you need to download XAMPP and enable @Localhost from your preferences.

Than , once you've done that open XAMPP and start servers on.

Then go to "Localhost/"The name of your file"

Or

127.0.0.1/"The name of your php file"

[persionguitar]

change your keyboard

[RBatteate]

Great tutorial, I don't mind the monotone.

You make it easy to understand.

How can anyone who is trying to learn php refer to anybody else as a nerd?

[Kaveh1000]

I agree. Excellent tutorial, but just can't keep listening to this pompous nerd. Shame.

[CollectiveFury]

&& is an operator, not a parameter :P

Fail ;)

[TheProgrammingSchool]

Hey guys, I'm doing several videos on PHP Programming videos as well as other languages, if you're truly interested in learning come check out my channel :) High quality tutorials, as well as, high quality explanations. :) Subscribe if you like and would like to get my videos as I post them! :D

[omfirstutube]

Please this error comes up "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in *********** ****...."

[omfirstutube]

I like this tutorial

Flexible and basic which is good for starters like me. Lets hope the next wouldn't be different like the previous series I was watching.

[Aimal01]

Hey guys, what the fuck is going on with my php codes? After watching and writing the php codes in NotePade, then i save it as an name.html, but it doesnt work. i thought it might be the program problem, NotePade, and i wrote the code in CoffeCup Free HTML Editor. and it doesnt work with Coffe Cup either.

????????????????????

[omfirstutube]

@Aimal01

you're meant to save it as .php not as .html

[KerinaLandeepa]

Are you british or australian/new zealander?

[VisualIlusion]

I dont knw how your localhost gets the messege "Hello world" Because i got to localhost/

And nothing happens.

[TheOpticalStudio]

This was quite helpful thankyou.

[romerian]

tacky..ahehe

[TheElkster]

Hi mate - really appreciate you taking the time to post this - its always better to see someone actually do it rather than just reading it! :)

[ProcureEminence]

Great video!

[Shockszzbyyous]

notepadd++

[xxarn8xxarr]

your the best tutor i have ever seen on youtube. if only you could teach me in rl. but well done tyvm for this vids they helped alot !!!

[videofreek112]

how do i have to save it? i just cal it index.php and when i want to open it it just does'nt work. please help me!!

[wiidude202]

@videofreak

You gatta save it .html

[dylan1281]

[FreeSubsOutTheAss]

Best tutor ever, i subbed and i love the videos, off to tut 2

[quickvidtutorials]

your the best tutor ever!

[cazastudios]

Good video what is the notepad you use?

[decadentgamer]

probably notepad++

[StudioTibet]

its SciTE code editor! : )

[waypastthat]

5 isnt greater than 10!?

YOU LIE

[marcusaaron16]

This was great. Don't listen to the haters homie. Keep up the good work.

[HordeAreMyFatCousins]

C made PHP

[llieske]

nice tutorial but your pompous, bored, monotone, condescending tone of voice makes me want to put a bullet through my f*cking skull.... pass

[Grollon999]

I don't usually respond to user comments, but this was brilliant.

Here goes; lol.

[iamanending]

i concur

[CodesRCool]

Hahaha, best ever..

Like, what can you do about your voice, you get born with it xD

It's a good tut, covering the if else statement and basics.

[CoDCopsProductions]

I've got a small problem...

When I load my php file on my server, it displays all the code as raw text rather than displaying the result of the code - any ideas why?

[VCSandARM]

@Grollon999 easy to understand tut, you monotone voice makes me want to put a bullet through the skull of whoever makes fun or complains about it. Good job

[JDEVideos]

@Grollon999 I like the way that you didn't take it personally. Good on you.

[JeremySatan]

@Grollon999 I actually quite like the timbre of your voice. Not in a rude way though.

[Animas3D]

You lack intelligence.

[llieske]

huh?

[fmcneillii]

@llieske LOL.

[ROSS4TUBE]

@llieske your here to learn php not talk about his voice

[wwwaptunecom]

@llieske hahaha

[Daftpanzer]

@llieske thats a negative thing to say. Personally I have to learn this for a course and am worried about it, I think his nonchalant tone of voice is calming and reassuring. 'this is no big deal' :)

[paiduema]

It is very similar to Flash Actionscript!

[RobJohnB95]

this looks simular to batch devlopment..which i'm experianced at, is it simular to batch?

[Realcfx]

Which? The XAMPP or PHP?

[RobJohnB95]

php, variables seem alike

[themewz]

mookay?

[malinkaalenka]

yes you can use notepad++

[luckyjude]

Great video dude!!!

[ickomusic]

what about notepad++.. you can use that one too, right?

[Eruonen]

Yes, you can. It has syntax highlighting, which is really handy.

[10047238]

thank uu very much i m a new learner of programming n i found this tutorial really beneficial...can u plz kindly suggest me what knowledge i should have before learning the php.i have the basic knowledge of html.

[DekoRoker]

u just have to know some basics of html, and css (it's not nessesary to know css but it helps), and if you know C or C++ it helps very much, because it's very simmilar to C/C++.. But the logic is the same, it's the syntax that's chanding.. and u have to have apache with mysql and php (or WAMP).. If you are a beginner I recomend PHP and MySQL Essentials by Kevin Skoglund.. It's a video tutorial that you can buy or watch at lynda[dot]com.. Good luck.. :)

[fzlik]

thanks

[pockets7744]

thx dude u make this easyier to learn

[altisw5]

Oooo so thank you.

Desperately was needing this one.

GREAT

[UsMafiaa]

Mkay... :)

[TarnaComedy]

OMG THANK YOU!!! I've needed help with php,none of the tutorials describe much,this one does, thank you so much! I think the only reason I don't understand other PHP tutorials it because I'm 11 :P

[daeheadshot]

lol great tutorial but the guy sounds like the teacher in south park xD

[frostymagic27]

yeah he does lol..... he always says "mkay" instead of "okay"

haha

[mgrulha]

I just wanted to let everyone know about all the PHP jobs on setuuubaldotcom. You can search PHP jobs from all across the world! The website lets buyers and providers list job openings.

[snoffe1234]

WHAT THE F***?!?!?! I CAN`T OPEN THE PHP IN INTERNET EXPLORER!! WHEN I DO IT IT JUST WANTS TO DOWNLOAD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! (it's not on my localhost can that be a problem? it would be, if i could start the damn Apache!)

[leimeisei909]

You can't just open a PHP file in internet explorer. you've gotta put it in your apache DocumentRoot, start your Apache server, then open localhost in internet explorer.

[daFranch1se69]

dude, PHP is killing me, its the hardest class Ive had in college. All programming gives me headaches, but I am so glad with my IT field, Databases, so all I really have to know is php and SQL, SQL is so awesome, its a 4th Gen Language and is so easy. But php is such a headache, atleast my class is, my teacher feeds us to the wolves every week in our labs.

Im almost done, but ive had to make, guestbooks, dynamic calendars, dynamic mysql lists, address books, and I am working on a php website!!

[Techjar]

PHP is the easiest to learn. :P

[leimeisei909]

Compared to other programming languages, PHP is among the easiest to learn. There's a major difference between SQL and PHP, and that is that SQL is not really a programming language, it is what most call a "Querying language".. because all it does is database-related things. What you're experiencing is very normal, it takes a while for it to set in, and your teacher is actually doing the right thing, because constant exposure is a great way to learn. Once you catch on, it's all fun from there.

[smidge146]

Dude I think Php is easy... I took me about 30mins to learn the basics and from there I can pretty much do anything for my website.

[tutorialconr]

wow its good that I know qbasic..know the if else and elseif statements

[DanielHemmingsen]

Unfortnetly the sound is a bit noisy. But you get the job done. Keep the good work. :)

[Spectator24]

Great Tutorial! that was extremely easy when you explained it...

[unixuser01]

I HATE THIS WORD hello world jesus come on something else pls test or first or something else

[diprapatio]

It's a bit VERY basic :)

Someone who doesn't understand what logical OR and AND is shouldn't learn php

You learn that is bloody highschool when you're 12 ffs

[Rotensian]

Logical AND and OR:

AND $variable1 AND $variable2 Are both values true?

OR $variable1 OR $variable2 Is at least one value true?

[QuantumAnomaly]

Alright, ass... there's a difference between not knowing the difference between the CONCEPTS of "and" & "or" and simply not knowing how PHP reads "and" & "or". If you are new to scripting there is no such thing as too basic.

If you were new to audio recording I wouldn't mock you for not knowing what a multiband compressor, a filter envelope, or an aux send is... so please keep in mind that some of us are entering this arena from a totally different background and need to start from zero.

[jonathanbain14]

You also learn how to construct a sentance in high school example, your sentance: "You learn that is bloody high school when you're 12 ffs". Correct sentance: "You learn that in bloody high school when you're 12 ffs". Perhaps you should return to education before you ridicule people who know nothing on php, everyone has to start somewhere. :)

[diprapatio]

Yes, you ridicule me for a typo (is => in) but make one while doing it :D (sentance => sentence)

I speak several languages, English is only my third language, so I'm not ashamed for mistakes I make in a language I never received any education about.

[jonathanbain14]

damnit i didn't realise you were from Belgium and also... lolz i'm tired!

[di123e123g123o123]

ghj

[lac0nix]

mmmKay?

[tuoice]

I use SCiTE and i love it (= but if youre doing Java i would reccomend Eclipse

[aspcajaye]

what text editor are you using??

[jancom777]

Scite. Try Notepad++ It's better in my opinion.

[aspcajaye]

dqamn man u have a seisure on the keyboard lol

[blazingcolts]

Thank you so much. I've been trying to find this stuff for hours. :p

Great tutorial.

[chronicbumsecks]

Great tutorial man, you get straight to it without fucking around. I like your style.

[f3rg0tten]

lol

[fckiri]

when i run the code thru the browser it shows me the exact same code.. like the hello world.. it starts with <php ... help plz

[kmg12]

are you sure your running the apache server? If you aren't running the server with php then it won't be able to interpret the php and will just output the text.

If using windows install xamp (read about it as it can be tricky at first)

if using mac install mamp

if using linux install lamp

[joemomma53]

Either your web host doesn't have PHP, or if you don't have a web host, then you don't have PHP installed

[REA00002]

this is pretty easy! and thank you. you made me realize that i shouldnt be afraid of variables because they are exactly the same as variables in math!

[brianmin15]

After installing Xampp what do yoy start??

[brianmin15]

Takes forever to load Apache 2

...

plz help

[codex73]

Will you do one covering ARRAYs ?

[DolphinBreath]

the basics?!! I'll stick with html.

[Kasdas2]

and get where?

[Markisagoodboy]

get nowhere past html websites.

[REA00002]

this type of coding is the easiest for websites (maybe java script) and HTML will only take you so far.

[ajellyman]

That was awesome! Your really good at explaining

[grabiirboubi]

Can't see your vids clearly man

[CowMuffins]

You're blind then.

[LupoBHS]

Hey man I've been trying to get my PHP program to work but it wont its freaking pissing me off! Anyway everytime I type localhost or 127.0.0.1 in the URL it always takes me to the XAMPP homepage. Have I not set something up yet or is my Vista just being stupid like always!?

[djmafy]

you need to install a web server

[Ed0c]

After you change the index.php that page will dissapear.

[pizza7is6good]

it does that to me too! i dont know what t do

[Ed0c]

K ignore what i said i was thinking of something else, aslong as you set passwords for everything then the directory /xampp (if you still kept that name) will need a password, if anyone did come across that directory.

[Ed0c]

Remember you can add or rename folders to make new directorys (/whatever) and add new content inside. 127.0.0.1/XAMPP/ WILL be seen if you dont change the password,also the FTP client,You should really change the password if you have it enabled as in 127.0.0.1/XAMPP/img they show a picture of the default password of the ftp client you downloaded.So, yah.

[nailshead18]

no...that means you did it correctly! lol. you should have a main page with a table on the side, stating things like phpmyadmin, etc. good job. :D

[fhnyuiko]

This is a very helpful tutorial. Somewhat easier to understand than the W3schools one.
