>&#13;   Here we would like to show the very basics of PHP in a short simple
   tutorial. This text only deals with dynamic webpage creation with
   PHP, though PHP is not only capable of creating webpages. See
   the section titled <A
HREF="intro-whatcando.html"
>What can PHP
   do</A
> for more information.

>&#13;   PHP-enabled web pages are treated just like regular HTML pages and
   you can create and edit them the same way you normally create
   regular HTML pages.

>&#13;    In this tutorial we assume that your server has support for PHP
    activated and that all files ending in <TT
CLASS="filename"
>.php</TT
>
    are handled by PHP. On most servers this is the default extension
    for PHP files, but ask your server administrator to be sure. If
    your server supports PHP then you don't need to do anything. Just
    create your <TT
CLASS="filename"
>.php</TT
> files and put them in your
    web directory and the server will magically parse them for you.
    There is no need to compile anything nor do you need to install
    any extra tools. Think of these PHP-enabled files as simple HTML
    files with a whole new family of magical tags that let you do all
    sorts of things.

>&#13;    Let's say you want to save precious bandwidth and develop locally.  
    In this case, you'll want to install a web server, such as 
    <A
HREF="install.apache.html"
>Apache</A
>, and of course 
    <A
HREF="http://www.php.net/downloads.php"
TARGET="_top"
>PHP</A
>.  You'll most likely 
    want to install a database as well, such as 
    <A
HREF="http://www.mysql.com/documentation/"
TARGET="_top"
>MySQL</A
>.  You can install 
    these individually or a simpler way is to <A
HREF="http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Software_and_Servers/Installation_Kits/"
TARGET="_top"
>locate a pre-configured package</A
> 
    that automatically installs all of these with just a few mouse
    clicks.  It's easy to setup a web server with PHP support on
    any operating system, including Linux and Windows.  In linux,
    you may find <A
HREF="http://www.rpmfind.net/"
TARGET="_top"
>rpmfind</A
> helpful
    for locating RPMs.
