Creating a PHP Sample

Creating a PHP sample is a relatively straight forward process. There are a few steps that need to be taken in order to create a working sample. First, you will need to create your script file. This can be done with any text editor. For example, you can use Notepad or Notepad++ on Windows, or gedit on Linux.

Once you have your script file open, you can start creating your sample. You should begin by setting up your basic file structure. This will include an opening

<?php

?>

Once you have your basic file structure in place, you can create the actual sample. This will involve creating a custom PHP function, and then calling it from within the script. For example, you might create the following function:

function my_sample_function() {
  echo "This is my sample function!";
}

You can then call the function from within the script, like so:

my_sample_function();

Once you have done this, your sample should be ready to run. You can test it by loading the script in a web browser, or by running it from the command line. If the script runs without any errors, then you have successfully created your sample!
