Jayenkai	I've been using Programmer's Notepad 2 for my development. To run php files on your own system, you'll need a Webserver, and a copy of PHP. Alternatively, you can do what I do.. Develop the code on your PC, but upload it to the site for testing. If you choose to do this, use 2 version of the site. index.php, and MyTest.php (or something like that), which will let you update without any user's being affected. As far as tutorials, I've mostly just been using the documentation over at php.net, and just bluffing my way through! The syntax is mostly C like, so shove ;'s at the end of your lines, and $'s go at the START of variables, not the end.. (Oh, and everything's case sensitive, so watch for that..) <?php $name="Jayenkai"; //" and ' both work, but make sure you start and end sections with the same mark! echo 'Well, would you look at that!\nIt\'s '.$name.' on my site!'; \\ \n = newline. \\Since we're using ' as the string limiters, a \' will tell it to put a ' in the middle of a string. \\And use .'s to add strings together. if ($name=='Jayenkai') {$name='Jellybabies';} // Squiggly's around "Do this" sections, Rounded around If tests. // $one==$other for "Is equal to" if (!($name=='Jellybabies')) {$name='BigBaby';} // !($one==$other) for "Is NOT equal to" , some versions of php like $one!=$other, but all like !($one==$other) so you're probably safer with that. ?> --v -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
