PHP Variables
What Is a Variable?
A variable in all programming languages can be defined as a container for storing values.
This value can either be a text,number, php statements or another variabe: just as you see fit.
The variable can later be called in your code whenever the value is needed.
How To Declare Variable in PHP
Declaring a variable in PHP is the easiest thing! Congratulations! (lol)
All you need to know on that is:
* A PHP code starts with a dollar ($) sign.
* After the $ dollar sign, it must be followed by either the underscore (_) or alphabet; then can either be followed by even digits
* Varibles can be as long as you wish, but they are case-sensitive.That is $a is different from $A in PHP.
PHP Variable Examples
Here are some examples of what we've learnt so far:

<?php
$msg = "Hey! See how interesting PHP is on Nairaland!";
echo ($msg);//this will output: Hey! See how interesting PHP is on Nairaland!
?>

paking:
I have a site hosted on VPS I intend to install phpmailer on this server. My question is do I need MySQL server on this VPS before phpmailer can be installed or I can just install it on the VPS and run it.

No you don't except you want to manage a database/databases. Servers for sending mails through PHP is not concerned about the MySQL Server.

go4gold:
Why did you put the echoed statement inside bracket?

I know you are asking that because you normally see some without bracket; isn't it? - Yes, the bracket is optional for the echo() function, meaning you can include or not.

Yea. It's always like that sometimes.

Good idea

kkkkk

PHP Syntax
PHP syntax simply means how to, and what to write in PHP code.
A PHP code starts with <?php and ends with ?> that is every PHP code and syntax will be written in between the symbols:
Example

 <?php echo ('Live PHP on Nairaland!'); ?>
// This outputs: Live PHP on Nairaland!

wp themes?

.

okay

lol

PHP Install
You need to get PHP installed on your computer... To get the coding running.
But before that let's install a web server.. I prefer using Apache, but if you are running on Windows Os, you can also use IIS. To get Apache, visit : http://www.apache.org after that, you get your PHP installed by downloading it at http://www.php.net click on downloads to get the latest PHP version..

No security is not vulnerable, so I believe you may penetrate the website...
But if the story is true, why not mail the mods instead of keeping it yourself?
