1. IS 118 Introduction to Development Tools Week 1 part 2

2. Some general rules and things to know about PHP Example on Pg 13 – Listing 1.1  Html code is enclosed in angles, PHP uses the same format  In general you use lower case for commands - note the double quotes This means that it is a literal, a value being supplied  Each command that is started has to be ended Eg has to end with  You use a plain text editor such as notepad (within windows) to write your code. You can not use MS Word or Wordpad

3. Listing 1.1 Let’s look a bit at the code So  Means this is a form we are creating, named processorder.php and we are going to post it or show it <table border=“0” means create a table that I am defining create a row in the table  Item this creates a column in the row, size 150 and put the text Item in it., end the definition with  Quantity create a second column, width 15, put Quantity in it  end of the row definition

4. Listing 1.1 continued Next row is all that is needed because the widths are known  Tires put tires in the column  This one is complicated looking isn’t it – So lets take it apart:

5. Listing 1.1 continued  This column is going to get input, we know this because it says input type=“text”  The input will be centered  The name of the input is tireqty  The size of the input is 3 and the maximum size is 3

6. Listing 1.1 continued Last thing for this listing is:   end definition of the table  end definition of the form

7.  Colspan=“2” says this row will span both columns making it like one  The contents of the column will be centered  The input type is “submit”  With a value of “Submit Order” This creates a submit button
