About php

After finishing the first assignment, we then started learning about php. To me, php is magical , it can do so much stuff that html just can't do and it is so much faster than html, so much less codes compare to html. It is wonderful, just like magic. But unfortunately , I am no magician. Despite the fact that php is very simple and easy to use, it also can be quite complicated if one's doesn't understand it. It is like a knife, easy to use, very effective, but if you don't know how to use it, it could hurt yourself and you get nothing done ultimately.

In php, I learnt that it works quite different from html, perhaps like I mentioned before, I am a slow learner, in a sudden change of pattern , I actually have problem picking it up. In class I learnt about the echo feature which you only need to key in the data once and it will recall it back later just by using the magic word, echo, which is fascinating, it is going to save a lot of time when coding.

$Name = Choon Tik;

$Description = “My name is $Name”;

echo $Description;

Results: My name is Choon Tik

But like I said, I face problem learning it, because as much as I want to, there are just things I did not understand about php. And lucky for me, Mr. Yong is always there to teach me, when I have questions regarding the subject. And I also seek help from my friend, Cheong Jun Fay when I have problem and Mr. Yong is busy helping the others.

Despite all the hardship I face learning it, I actually think that once I understand more about it, it could be quite simple to use, so I would love to find out more about php.
