Abstract
We’ve looked at what PHP is, and how to install and configure it, so now it’s time to look at the basic constructs which make up the PHP programming language. While PHP syntax draws inspiration from a number of sources, notably C, UNIX shell scripting languages, and Perl, it is very much its own language. The following two chapters, while not intended to be a complete tutorial in PHP syntax, should serve to help someone familiar with other languages, or with basic PHP, to understand the code structures that PHP provides. For a more thorough treatment of the basics of PHP programming, take a look at Beginning PHP4 from Wrox Press (ISBN 1-861003-73-0).
