First off, don't get mad at me for posting something of HTML instead of PHP. Sure it's easy, but I don't know too much PHP...yet, and you should know some HTML before PHP, anyway. I will be making a bunch of tutorials- in parts. This one will teach you about the interface, and what each 'tag' is for. Critique is welcome, just don't flame. As are compliments, obviously.
Anyway, I'll start. I will try and make things as clear as possible:
To begin, you should know what HTML stands for. HTML- Hyper Text Markup Language. You should also know what tags are, what they do.
Tags are a word(s) that tells when something starts, and when something ends. Text is to be placed between each bracket (which the tags are enclosed in). And, unless you live in Japan, you are to write and read everything from left to right.
To summarize so far: HTML is a Hyper Text Markup Language that uses tags (which are hidden in brackets) to start and end text (which is inserted between).
Important Note: It's not a normal bracket that is used to distinguish start and end, but angle brackets. An example: <h1>Insert Heading Here</h1> I will use bracket(s) instead of angle-bracket for this guide to make everything shorter, and sound more fluent. I don't plan on answering any questions relating to why something didn't work if you used normal brackets, as all you have to do is read this paragraph. One more thing to know: when you're ending a tag, you're to use a dash (</h1>) to signify that it is the END tag, and not the start tag. Don't ask me why.
Now we move onto the actual 'interface', or basic 'design' that you should use when using HTML. You could use Dreamweaver, which is made to edit such a language, or simply use notepad. Either way, you'll have to use:
<html> and </html> - If you can't figure out why that is there, I don't think should be learning- especially with something as easy as HTML.
<body> and </body> - What will be seen on the page, the body, or display, that will be featured.
<h1> and </h1> - Obviously, what will be displayed as the heading.
<p> and </p> This one is rather obvious, too. It's the sub-text, or paragraph as it is classified as, that will be displayed on the page.
Summary:
-HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
-Start and End is characterized by tags, which use angle brackets, or brackets for short.
-You can use Dreamweaver or Notepad, either or. Dreamweaver is to be used if you're a coward, and need help, and notepad is for the confident.
-Tags should be easy to remember, because they're short and simple. If you can remember [.spoiler] and [/spoiler] and all of the other codes, why can't you remember something smaller? (Also, the period is put so that the spoiler tags don't work and you can see my example.
-You're not very good at finding guides.
A short beginning, but as I said to start, I will add other tutorials continuing from where the other left off. Hopefully this was well-explained, as I am not good with making tutorials. Should you read this guide instead of any other? Nope. I am not a professional, just here if you fail at using google, cannot understand the basic concept, or want another guide to make sure you have everything.
Anyway, Toodloo. I'll answer questions if you have any.
