Example: Hello World!
Start by making an ordinary HTML document, but name the file page.php and save it in the root of the site:
If you use XAMPP (see lesson 2), the path for the root is "c:\xampp\htdocs\page.php" on your computer (which is now a server). Read more abot saving PHP files in XAMPP.
If you have a website on a host that supports PHP, you simply upload/ftp the file to your web host.
The HTML code should look like this:
My first PHP page

My first PHP page
Hello World!";
?>
When we look at the PHP document in a browser, it should look like this:
