Thank you :) You may prefer my newer PHP tutorial. It is called Web Design and Programming and is on my YouTube channel. It is much better than this one. Always feel free to ask questions

@mungomungleton You can use any basic text editor. I use text wrangler on a mac and notepad++ on the pc. You might prefer my other interactive tutorial on PHP. It's called Web Design and Programming. Much better than this one.

@mungomungleton Php files always end with .php It is best to print out the code and refer to it as I proceed through the tutorial. You'll find my other tutorial easier to understand because I type out everything and explain each line of code as I go.

@Colstonewall Absolutely!!! PHP is extremely important. Python is used with Django and it's great, but most hosting companies won't allow you to use Django

Thanks for the tutorials, I will be starting school again for computer science and these videos look like they will really help. Thanks a bunch for putting the time into doing this. Computer science seems so impossible but when I see these videos it looks like it is possble to understand.

At 3:15 you taught me something that helped me solve a problem I have been struggling with for the last 3 I was trying to create a directory with a variable being part of the path. What I was doing was putting the variable outside of the double quotes not knowing that it could be put inside... Thank you!

@JAM3Swilliams Save it with the php extension instead of HTML and it will work

Derek, do you think PHP is still the most popular scripting language used on the web?? With other web frameworks popping up, like Django, is PHP in a decline?? Still worth learning??
