In this tutorial, we will create a test page.
This page will be composed of html and php.
PHP by the way is a server-side scripting language.
Now we will create a php page.
Go to the installation directory of your WAMP Server, then go to 'www' and let's create another directory inside. Let's call it 'TestDirectory'.
Inside this directory, create a file called 'index.php' and paste the below code.
This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

| <html> | |
| <head><title>Test Page</title></head> | |
| <body> | |
| <?php | |
| $text = "Hello World"; | |
| echo $text; | |
| ?> | |
| </body> | |
| </html> |
Now, save that file and go to your browser. Input in the address bar 'localhost/TestDirectory' and you
should see a page with a word "Hello World" in it.
Now that is our first page created using PHP and HTML.
Code Explanation:
1. The code on line #1 indicates the start of our html page, and ends at line #9 with the syntax </html>
2. Line #2 create a title of the page "Test Page". You will see this on the tab of a web browser.
3. Line #3 denotes the start of the body of html page and ends at line #8.
4. Line #4 indicates the start of our php code. every php code must start with "<?php"
and ends with "?>.
5. On line #5, we declared a variable called $text and assigned a value "Hello World".
6. On line #6, the echo syntax displays the content of the variable $text.
That's all for the test page folks... I hope this helps a bit...
