Please read over lessons 1-5 before starting this section.

By now, you’ve
got enough PHP knowledge under your belt to add basic PHP functionality in all
of your websites. It’s pretty cool knowing things that a lot of others don’t
know, and they’ll never be able to find out just by doing a “View Source” on
your website (especially since you cant actually SEE PHP code by viewing the
source in a browser!)
In this section
we are going to cover some more advanced PHP code. Things that you might not
use just yet but once you are comfortable with PHP and want to get more out of
it, you’ll be ready, my young apprentice.
Quick
tangent...before we get started here you are going to want to be able to place
comments in your code. Why? It’s a heck of a lot easier to know why you wrote a
specific line of code if you add comments...so you don’t come back in 3 months
and ask yourself, “Was I drunk when I wrote this code??” Here are some examples
of comment codes:
<?php
// This is a single comment line
# This is also a single comment line
/* This is a block comment, useful if you are working
with a multi-line comment or are writing a story on your page that you don’t
want people to see */
?>
You don’t have to use semicolons after each line, since the
PHP server ignores comments because they aren’t actually commands. Now, on to
more CODE! (ta-daaaa!)
