The syntax is like the following:
<?php

command;

?>
It should be embedded in an html file that will be processed server-side, so as part of the file it should look like this:
<html>
<body>
<?php
command;
command;
command;
?>
</body>
</html>
Operators, conditional statements, and loops can be written as they are in Java or C++.

with the exception of the $ character infront of the varible

oh and you don't have to pre-declare varibles

oh and about a few hundred thousand other things

You can download forums, like PHPbb

http://www.phpbb.com

of course, you would have to install it too, just follow the instructions that come with the forum (usually install.txt or readme.txt)

Damn, dude, ease up a bit. I didn't mention variables at all, only syntax (since anything else the server would tell you what you're doing wrong), and so yeah, you can do exactly as I said.

Ooops, I just realized... I should have left the thread alone with your post there, since I forgot that we aren't supposed to provide any help on these forums any more...

"Operators, conditional statements, and loops can be written as they are in Java or C++."

you can't write those without varibles!

anyways, I helped him, he was talking about a PHP forum, and I gave him one

Good job http://www.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif

BTW, I'm pretty sure you know what "syntax" means.
