php tips
Introducing PHP:
You’ve probably heard the word “PHP” thrown around a lot. Even if you haven’t, you’ve definitely used PHP (knowingly or not) while browsing the internet. PHP is used in many online applications – Facebook, Google and many other major websites use PHP. But what exactly is PHP in the first place?
If you are not familiar with how databases databases work, then it can appear a little overwhelming in the beginning. It can all be simplified with a little information.

Ever wanted to use today’s date or a future date of an event you are planning on your site or blog? As usual, there are many ways of doing this simple task but php offers the simplest way by using just one line of code
Today is <?php echo date(‘M d, Y’); ?>
The browser will display today’s date in the format of Oct 11, 2009. Of course if you try this the date will be that day’s date.
