This is a short tutorial on how to embed Php code inside HTML code.  This is very useful in many situations.

2
00:00:14 --> 00:00:22
For example if I were to create Php tags and echo out my name here.

3
00:00:23 --> 00:00:29
By running this , let's click on a file, we just get an Alex.

4
00:00:30 --> 00:00:37
Now for example, I can embed HTML inside this and echo it out here to make Alex a little bolder.

5
00:00:38 --> 00:00:44
But what I can do is I can switch this the other way round.

6
00:00:45 --> 00:00:51
Let's start again, create an HTML page. I'm going to use this example

7
00:00:52 --> 00:01:12
I will start a Php and a tag here. I echo out Alex and then come in outside the Php tags and add my bold here and my bold end after the ending Php tag

8
00:01:13 --> 00:01:19
And it gives us the same result, nothing has changed even though I've refreshed the page

9
00:01:20 --> 00:01:25
So, we can change that to underline and you can see that Alex is underlined.

10
00:01:26 --> 00:01:38
So, we can do it either ways.  It's up to you to use the HTML code inside the echo or not.  But there are more uses to this.

11
00:01:39 --> 00:01:47
Now, if you do know HTML, you know the input tag is a template tag.

12
00:01:48 --> 00:01:55
So, let's say text and the name of this will be name and the value is going to be equal to Alex

13
00:01:56 --> 00:02:13
Lets refresh this and we see we've got a text box here with Alex inside.Now I want to use Php to grab the get variable header and put it inside this value of our input value.

14
00:02:14 --> 00:02:29
Now, this is really useful in some cases like form submission and error checking where you want the posted variables to stay inside the value of each text box.

15
00:02:30 --> 00:02:37
If you haven't seen the get tutorial already make sure you watch that.

16
00:02:38 --> 00:02:47
Now, bring this down a couple of lines, obviously we still run this code successfully because it works on similar line basis

17
00:02:48 --> 00:02:57
So, this you see here is exactly the same as that, you just have to force it down a bit and I'm going to create Php text here

18
00:02:58 --> 00:03:07
This is going to look a funny brown colour because we're working in Php highlighting and it's not really recognizing this type of highlighting

19
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
Ok, I'm just going to echo out Alex

20
00:03:12 --> 00:03:24
Since this works on a single line basis, bring this all up on a single line.  So now I have embed this inside that and your embedding is done.

21
00:03:25 --> 00:03:34
By refreshing we get the value of Alex. We're echoing out now Php inside a n HTML value

22
00:03:35 --> 00:03:39
So, we're using Php code inside our value here

23
00:03:40 --> 00:03:49
I'm going to demonstrate dollar underscore get ,remember using the single quotes

24
00:03:50 --> 00:03:54
I'm going to say name and then refresh

25
00:03:55 --> 00:04:03
Nothing's happened so type in name=Alex which gives us Alex inside that

26
00:04:04 --> 00:04:10
Type in name=Kyle. It gives us Kyle inside that

27
00:04:11 --> 00:04:15
Basically you can embed any Php code you want inside that

28
00:04:16 --> 00:04:27
Try saying echo Php info and you'd get a very funny result

29
00:04:28 --> 00:04:32
This is the HTML code of Php info document

30
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
So, you can see that there's loads of code in that

31
00:04:37 --> 00:04:45
Here we're just working with Php inside.The only thing you need to worry about is being careful with your single and double quotes

32
00:04:46 --> 00:04:52
So this was the basic tutorial on embedding Php code inside HTML code

33
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
I hope it was useful.Thanks for watching
