Thank you. I teach an introduction to programming class and know some
of the problems of getting started. The sheer amount of information is
available is very daunting for a newcomer and I find it useful to learn
just what you need to know at first and expand your knowledge later.
The learning curve is steep enough as it is. The manual is very
thorough and quite technical, but often there are examples of usage that
you can copy or adapt.
As for your test, it's been recommended that you rename the file
index.php This works exactly the same as index.htm or index.html except
that the php will be executed (it can be with other extensions but it is
not automatic - you have to configure the server to do so). However,
for testing I'd recommend you call it something meaningful e.g.
helloworld.php You can then build up a library of snippets that you can
call on as you progress.
