you don't ask simple questions do you?

basically php is a good language to use in developing websites because it can make things dynamic so that you don't have to change things by yourself constantly, you can also use databases and that can make things more efficient than if you were using txt files...for example these forums used to be in txt files and they took forever to load, now using php and mySQL the content for the forums is loaded from a db and it goes much faster, that's efficiency...

Basically fyre hit it all up, only thing I think he missed was implementation biggrin.gif Basically... you use variable to print data from the database (be it mysql, flat(txt), or some other random db that has no support? lol)

CODE
<html>
<body>
<? //-----------------
// $var = 'set var'  Basically sets the variable $var to the value in ' '
//--------------
$var = 'hi'
echo '$var'
?>


Basically, if you called info from a db it would store it to $var and print it. That's extremely basic in how it works, and not even close to realizing any potential of php alien2.gif
