Before we can start coding you first need to know some basics. In this PHP language introduction tutorial you’ll find some descriptions of words you should know before you can start coding. Of course we will also look at where you can download PHP, MySQL and Apache. More »

As we explained in the PHP introduction tutorial the PHP code is executed on the server-side. The result of a PHP program is send in plain HTML to the browser. More »

In this PHP programming language tutorial we will look at variables. A variable is used to store information or values in, like text-strings, numbers or arrays. As long as you don’t remove the value in a variable then you can use the variable (thus the value) over and over again. More »

In this PHP language tutorial we will take a look at arrays in PHP. A normal variable holds only one value. An array is different. An array lets you declare and work with a collection of values.
