🚀 PHP for Beginners: Your First Steps!

Hey new coders! 👋 Ready to dive into PHP, the powerful scripting language behind WordPress, Facebook (originally), and so many websites? Here’s a quick start:

🔹 What is PHP?

• A server-side language (runs on the web server, not the browser).
• Perfect for dynamic websites, forms, logins, and databases.

🔹 Your First PHP Script

<?php  
  echo "Hello, World! 🎉";  
?>  

Save as hello.php, run it on a server (like XAMPP), and see the magic!

🔹 Why Learn PHP?

✅ Easy syntax (similar to C/Java)

✅ Huge demand (WordPress, Laravel jobs!)

✅ Works with MySQL for databases

🔹 Next Steps

1️⃣ Install XAMPP (local server)

2️⃣ Try basic variables, loops, forms

3️⃣ Build a simple login page

💡 Tip: PHP is forgiving for beginners—mistakes won’t break everything!
