PHP and the Web
PHP has many features that are designed particularly for Web site use.

It allows the developer to create secure Web pages with features that requires users to enter a valid username and password before they can view the content. PHP also communicates with databases so they can both store and retrieve information from and to the users. Brilliant, isn’t it?
TestFest 2009
This year’s TestFest 2009 is almost here and people from all over the globe work together, each devoting a few hours of their time to the proper testing of the newer and enhanced versions of the platform to allow a wider testing program.

If you are using notepad as editor then be careful about the file extension. In Windows OS the file extensions are often hidden, so you must ensure that file saved has a .php extension.
If that is the exact output on your browser, then it is a success!!! We are on a good start. If you did not see this output, then perhaps PHP was not installed or configured properly. Note that if the PHP file is prompted to be downloaded in your browser, then PHP is not installed or configured properly as the file with .php extension is not being parsed. Please refer to your installation procedure.
