Toe in the Water

Ha ha! Today I made my first page using PHP. It’s a test page and it’s really simple – but it works. That’s all that matters.

But most importantly, I finally really know how people can update multiple pages with one file – cheers for the ‘include’ command. It makes me happy and I can guarantee it’ll show up on future pages. (I’m sure there’s an even easier way to do this, but humor me for now…)

But, even if I didn’t do too much today with PHP, I also got some other stuff done. I got to brush up on my hard coding html as well! Heh, writing tables from scratch has always gotten me. Darn that <td> line…I always forget to write it down when I’ve only got one row. Hardcoding is fun everyone! And I finally figured out how to make dreamweaver automatically update and upload my files without uploading them the long way with an ftp program. Saved me a lot of time when I was testing my new php pages. Very convienient.

Anyway, I’m excited over writing maybe five lines of code. If you’re intereted you can see my wonders here:  PHP Testing Ground.

Next on my list: conquering databases.
