These automated chat systems are especially build to receive vistiors on social media chats and provide basic information to the visitors about your business.

PHP delimiters are nothing but the open close tags to enclose PHP script. PHP code can be parsed if and only if it is enclosed with these delimiters. There are various set of delimiters to recognize PHP code. These are as listed below. <?php … ?>  – It is most probably used delimiters and also preferable, since, PHP code enclosed with in <?php .. ?> could be recognized with other PHP servers independent of the tag related configuration directives. <script language=”php”></script>  – This will also work anywhere, like <?php … ?>. <? … ?>  – This is called as PHP short tags which will work based on the value set with  short_open_tag  directive of PHP configuration file. <?=..;?>  – This is also short form of denoting PHP code, but used as an alternative representation of PHP print statement. <% … %>  or  <%=;%>    – This is the delimiters for writing Active Server Pages(A...

After installing xampp  you are ready to start with php. This is our first blog through which you can learn php.  So let me start with the Hello World program in PHP. Following script displays the sentence “Hello, World!” in the browser. It is a simple and straight forward code. There are two basic ways of doing this hello world print and they are using ‘echo’ or ‘print’.  The difference between using ‘echo’ and ‘print’ is, the echo statement just prints the arguments passed to it and does not return any value. But the ‘print’ statement prints the argument as well as returns a value of 1. Since it returns a value, ‘print’ statement can be used in expressions. the echo statement can take multiple parameters and print statement takes only one parameter. Example Hello World Code using Echo <? php echo "Hello, World!" ; ?> Example Hello World Code using Print <? php print "Hello, World!" ; ?> In this context of printing ‘Hello, ...
