Gah, this is so not in wikiFormat. Actually you could consider it a Wikipedia article. I support at title change to Write PHP Scripts.

There's some wonderful instruction in here; I formatted the steps and removed a very big chunk of descriptive text. It seems a lot more approachable now.

This was very helpful and easy to understand and now I comprehend some basic PHP scripting...

Apache is not necessary. IIS works just as well.

As a professional PHP programmer I will just say that this article is inaccurate and does not cover the subject at all.

I don't want to attack the authors, or discourage them in what they are doing, as I really appreciate the fact that there are people out there that can devote their time and effort to share their knowledge, but... you could as well write an article named "how to build a space ship" or "how to build a robot" - the subject is just too broad.

Instead, why don't you rename it to something like "How to get started with PHP"? And maybe add some "further reading" links that cover different aspects of PHP in detail?

89.174.122.24, as a fellow professional developer I'd say this article is a fine way to encourage interest in PHP by getting the reader started with simple script writing. I think the article only really meant to do that and nothing more, and thus succeeded.

can you list the further reading links then?

Ah. Personally I don't think this deep a subject matter is suitable for wikiHow but the author did a decent job at explaining the basics so I wouldn't support an NFD. Rock on!

can any one suggest a site to learn php?

I think that this article would be better off as "How to Learn PHP". Instead of teaching rudimentary concepts that are useless in comparison with the full potential of PHP, it should cover what tutorials you should read or how to get started learning.

this worked for me to get set up great

however it would be useful if some links were there on how to actually learn more php because this really just linked how to install apache2 and the php engine

really, just explaining what ?php is and echo and variables doesn't seem very in depth at all in how to actually program much at all (coming from someone who is used to java and c)

The article headline is to broad, I support changing it to something along the lines of "getting started with PHP" and then include more links to tutorials on the net.

Most tutorials I have seen does a much better and precise job of helping you get started, so maybe this article should just be cut down to helpful referral links
