To create your own website using only PHP without any extensions, you can follow these steps:
- Set up a development environment: Install a local server environment on your computer, such as XAMPP, WAMP, or MAMP, which includes Apache, PHP, and MySQL.
- Create a new PHP file: Create a new file with a .php extension and open it in a text editor.
- Write PHP code: Begin writing your PHP code to build your website. PHP code is enclosed in <?php and ?> tags. You can start with basic PHP syntax, variables, loops, conditional statements, and functions.
- HTML integration: Since you're not using any extensions or frameworks, you'll need to manually write the HTML markup within your PHP file. You can combine PHP and HTML by using echo statements to output HTML code within your PHP code.
- Add CSS and JavaScript: If you want to style your website with CSS or add interactivity with JavaScript, you can include CSS and JavaScript code within <style> and <script> tags respectively, directly within your PHP file.
- Set up a server to run PHP: Start your local server environment (XAMPP, WAMP, or MAMP) and copy your PHP file to the appropriate directory (e.g., htdocs for XAMPP). Access your PHP file through your local server's URL (e.g., http://localhost/your-file.php) to see the output in your web browser.
- Build additional pages: Create separate PHP files for each page of your website and link them together using HTML anchor tags (<a>). This will allow users to navigate between different pages on your website.
- Implement forms and handle data: If you want to collect user input through forms, you can use HTML form elements and submit the form to a PHP script for processing and handling the data.
- Test and debug: Continuously test your website, debug any errors or issues, and make necessary modifications to your PHP code.
- Deploy your website: When you're ready to make your website live, you'll need to obtain a domain name and a web hosting service. Upload your PHP files to the server and configure the necessary settings to run PHP scripts.
