What is PHP?

[spriggan2005]

Hi, can anyone tell me what is PHP? Is there any info for me to read or learn? Or instruction/tutorials on how it functions thru Dreamweaver?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Php is a scripting language. It's one of those cute GNU names that now means Hypertext Preprocesser. (Yeah, I know that doesn't start with P). There are many, many place to learn this. There is a php forum here at Tek-Tips. There are multiple tutorials for Dreamweaver and php, including some at Macromedia.

Search the faqs here and google for 'dreamweabver php tutorials'.

Come back with questions.

Greg, cool thanks for that!! Will look into it.

I have couple of questions to ask you.

1. Mega tags in DW - don't know if you're fimilar with it. I updated mega tags for the site yesterday that I'm working on. But did google search today, the old text snippet is still there. What should I need to do??

Here's the mega tags I updated to the server:

<meta name="keywords" content="Mapp & Hession Pharmacy - Online Pharmacy Information">

<meta name="description" content="Murwillumbah-based pharmacy with online information for health care and medical information, selling health and beauty supplies, and prescription medicines. The site is an online resource to obtain information for health, natural remedies, beauty, travel and baby. Private natural consultations every Monday. For more information view our website.

2. Drop-down menus is not appearing. When I tested the site thru testing server & server online by moving mouse over, they're not appearing but the single cells does work when click on it.

Before that problem arise, they were working fine. This is where the problem started - I made a slight change on a text image(menu bar) in Fireworks then imported it in DW, then tested it on the server they're not appearing but the actual settings were there (Bahaviors > Show Pop-Up Menu). I embedded iFrames in this site but I don't think this causes the problem. It is coming from the menu bar itself. I think it's to do with coding error.

Here's example that I noticed differently:
<script language="JavaScript"> (when menu are appearing & before I made slight change in Fireworks)

<script language="Script"> (when menu are not appearing & after I made slight change in Fireworks)

I change it back to 'Javascript' then tested on the server that's where problem hit each time. When back to DW, look at the codes it went back to 'Script' each time.

Do you know any solution to this??

Any help would be great.

Mark
