How do you do php code our what ever it is.

Hmmm..? You really need to read the FAQ at www.php.net.

I code it with `echo "code goes here" >> file.php`....

I used to believe that we must fight the future, lest change come without our consent. I was wrong. The truth is that we must embrace the future, for only with change can we remain the same.

Now that's hard core.

PHP, or "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" (yeah the first letter of the acronym is the acronym itself) is a web-scripting language. What it does is allow you to make webpages that are a lot more interactive than they could be if you just used HTML. Using PHP, you can make news scripts, image uploading scripts, even entire forums if you wanted to.

In order to use PHP on your website, you need a server that supports it. If you are hosting your own website, PHP can be downloaded and installed for both Apache and Windows IIS. If your website is hosted elsewhere, your host should have a FAQ that will tell you if you can use PHP on your site or not.

Webmonkey is a good place to get started if you are looking for PHP tutorials. If you know how to use IRC (Internet Relay Chat) you can visit #php on either irc.efnet.net or irc.holonet.org for help as well.

I've contemplated writing forums in PHP...

I can never bring myself past contemplating it though...

It's a tad bit more of an undertaking than previous stuff I've done like news scripts...

The phpBB forums were written in PHP, although they require an external database.

Of course any PHP board I'd ever attempt would have to use MySQL.

I use MySQL as the database for my site's news script. I really need to write a MySQL based login system for it too. Right now it just uses a really simple and sloppy cookie-based system. I'm the only one who uses it though, so I'm not in too big of a hurry to bother with changing it.

Oh yeah, and I use YaBBSE(Well, use meaning they're there. They don't get used really, lol) too, which uses PHP and MySQL as well.

Perl uses command prompt.
