@scragarJan 28.2005 — #php is a serverside language which esentialy means it writes the HTML that is seny to your computer and displayed on the screen. This means that they can keep their database secret and stuff.
As for basic PHP try something like: [code=php] <? // start PHP echo "some text.";// writes some text onto the page. $txt = "some text";//fills the variable $txt with the string "some text" echo $txt;//writes out the contents of $txt, in this case some text is again writen to the page. echo "$txt";//same as above. $txt = 'some text';//fills the variable $txt with the string "some text" echo '$txt';//writes the string '$txt' to the page(not the variable) $txt = "hello "."world";//fills $txt with "hello world". $int = 5;//fills $int with the number 5. $int = $int * 2;//fills $int with it's current value times 2, AKA 10. $int = rand(0, 10);//fills int with a random number between 0 and 10.
