Assigment for November 25
Hi O4A,
As you know, PHP is a server-side scripting language. This means your PHP codes will not work on your local computer as-is. You need an emulator that you can run on your laptop or desktop to “emulate” the web server. One of these emulators is call xampp.
1) Go to the Xampp website, download, install and run it on your laptop or desktop at home. Make sure you know how to install and run XAMPP next week in class.

2) We only meet one day a week, so I need you to be prepared with every class. For our discussion next week, try to practice the simple PHP codes on the w3c website ( http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/DEfaULT.asP ). Remember, you need to run XAMPP first before accessing your PHP files from the browser.
3) Also, be ready with our first graded seatwork/exercise.
