Welcome to the PHP Basics for Webmasters Course Week #1.

Your Week #1 Basic TO-DO assignment should be posted here in this thread only. If you have specific questions about the week 1 course text then please also post them in this thread so that other students can learn from the information.

Here is the details on what you need to do in this assignment:

TO-DO ASSIGNMENT #1: Write a script to store and print your name (nick) and at least one favorite url to the browser using variables to assign them. Make the variable names conform to the rules explained above and use comments in the code explaining each line of code. Cut and paste your code to the Week 1 forum HERE (hit reply to this message to post your code) to share with others.

Are you enrolled as a Script School student? If you aren't then please visit: http://www.scriptschool.com/enroll.phtml to enroll.

Once enrolled, login and you can turn in your assignment here.

Some students might have woken up and said: what happened to all the other turned in assignments? We'll be covering that in the student newsletter and on the radio show today.

For those just getting started, I realize it is helpful to review assignments turned in by other students. Here is one imported page of the archives from the prior 3 years week #1 to-do assignments (you must be enrolled as a student and logged in to see the following page):
http://class.scriptschool.com/...basic_1-1.phtml

Hopefully you'll be able to tune in to today's show to find out what's happening, as well as get started on the new MySQL course which is being officially launched today.

Happy coding to you!

I finished the week #1 To-Do Assignment. It works! Any suggestions on improvements?

// This program will use php to display my name and website using variables.
// Assign the variables.
$firstname = "Donnie";

// Print the current date.

Hi Donnie, you can wrap your code around VBulletin-style code tags (see the posting form) and it will look like this:




<HTML> 

<HEAD> 

<TITLE>SchoolScript.com Assignment 1</TITLE> 

</HEAD> 

<BODY> 

<?php

// This program will use php to display my name and website using variables. 

// Assign the variables. 

$firstname='Donnie';

$lastname='Autry';

$website='http://www.dandrenterprises.com';

// Display information in browser. 

print("Hello,mynameis$firstname$lastname.<br>Myfavoritewebsiteis$website.");

// Print the current date. 

print("<br>The current date is: ".date("m/j/y"))

?>

</BODY> 

</HTML>

Notice that I edited the variable assignments to be single quotes (literal), not double quotes (interpreted). Not neccesary for interpreted in the example above.

Sk8rRIMuk - there was a bug with the code conversion routine in the forum which I just fixed. Please repost using [ code ] and [ /code ] (but with no spaces) and don't use the preview function (I'm going to remove that for the time being.

I'll delete your other posts, per your request

<?php
//Variable

/* It's better then echo'ing hello world :)*/
$nick = "Master-Devil";

print "Hello, my name is Pascal Bakhuis known on the net as $nick,
 I'm trying to learn php so that I can improve my site located here $site";
?>

Finally no <?php echo = "Hello world!"; ?> I was getting rather sick of that.. I like the first lesson here, very nice to give assignments.

Request: Some more freedom in names ? I couldn't even make my beloved "Master-Devil" nick :(

Welcome cashpath and tecbrat. Be sure to use the code tags when posting so the code is colorized by the script. I've just made some modifications to make sure slashes show where they are supposed to go.

Nice to have you with us ;)

Welcome to the course jthwalker, Punch, KPHP :)

Re #91 - jthwalker
recommend using <?php instead of <? these days. I realize the course code shows the one you used, but that will be updated in the next revision of the course material.

Re #92 - Punch
"parent" should technically be "_parent"

Re #93 - KPHP
same comments as #91 above ... you are on your way ;)

Welcome shrek and Cooltude to the PHP Course. This course will be getting updated next as we just finished up with the launch of the MySQL course.

This shouldn't prevent anybody from getting started with this course, though, as the modifications are likely not going to change the course to-do assignments. Significantly, anyway.

Watch your email box for the student newsletter (which hasn't been sent for a month or so) for further details.
