Summary
This chapter provided you with the information you need to establish an operational Apache/PHP server, and valuable insight regarding PHP’s run-time configuration options and capabilities. This was a major step, because you’ll now be able to use this platform to test examples throughout the remainder of the book.
In the next chapter, you’ll learn all about the basic syntactical properties of the PHP language. By its conclusion, you’ll be able to create simplistic yet quite useful scripts. This material sets the stage for subsequent chapters, where you’ll gain the knowledge required to start building some really cool applications.
