		<title>More into the syntax of PHP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As you might have seen, all of the PHP statement ends with ï¿½;ï¿½ which would be somewhat similar to Perl. The valid HTML code that was handed back to the server was :



Who are You?

My name is MacGyver.


More in the coming posts when we dig deeper as we widen our understanding of PHP.

		<description><![CDATA[
The first post had you making a program that was equivalent to the &#8220;Hello World&#8221; program used for teaching basics of a programming language and here&#8217;s how it worked. When the script was requested by opening the web page, Apache intercepted the request and passed it onto PHP which parsed the script looking for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Loop Statement &#8211; foreach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The foreach loop is mostly used to parse through an array that for every loop, the value of the current array content/value is assigned to the $value (after which the array pointer increments by a factor of one) then the next loop results in the next array content/value.
Syntax:
foreach (array as value)
{
 code to be executed;
}

Now that we know the basic loop statements that are commonly used in PHP, we come to one of PHP&#8217;s real power in the form of it&#8217;s built in functions.

		<title>Forms and User Input continued</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The sample page in the previous post contains two input fields that are name and age, when the user inputs the data and clicks on the submit button, the form&#8217;s data is sent to the file &#8220;welcome.php&#8221; file. The resulting php file would look something like this:

		<title>Functions that return Values</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
That&#8217;s how easy a function can be made to do a series of operations by being influenced by parameters. We now focus on the area of having functions that returns a value, say the processing of a block of code or an operation done on a set of data.
Sample :

The $_GET variable is an array of variable names with the corresponding values sent by the HTTP GET method. It is used to collect values from a form by using the method=&#8221;get&#8221;.
