From HTML to PHP
  • PHP ignores everything not inside the <?php     ?> tags.
  • You can rename all of your .html file to .php files and nothing will change.
Syntax
Statements terminated by either a semicolon or the closing tag. 

<?php
	echo "This is a test";
?> 

<?php echo "This is a test" ?>
Comments 
<?php 
	// This is a one-line c++ style comment

	/* This is
		a multi line comment */
?>
