Introduction to PHP Overview This lab walks you through using PHP to create simple applications. PHP is popular for many Web applications, so becoming comfortable with the syntax of PHP will help you diagnose and identify potential security issues. Learning Outcomes: At the completion of the lab you should be able to: 1. Execute PHP scripts at the shell prompt within the Ubuntu virtual machine 2. Create simple PHP applications comprised of basic syntax, variables, strings, selection statements and repetition statements. Lab Submission Requirements: After completing this lab, you will submit a word (or PDF) document that meets all of the requirements in the description at the end of this document. In addition, your PHP file should be submitted. You can submit multiple files in a zip file. Virtual Machine Account Information Your Virtual Machine has been preconfigured with all of the software you will need for this class. The default username and password are: Username : umucsdev Password: umuc$d8v Part 1 – Execute PHP scripts at the shell prompt within the Ubuntu virtual machine The Virtual Machine already has PHP installed. It is also configured to run properly on your Apache2 web server. This exercise will walk through creating a simple PHP script and running it both at the shell prompt and from a Web browser. We will use the gedit text editor to create the PHP file. Running the script from the shell prompt is very useful for debugging as syntax errors will appear when code issues occur. 1. Assuming you have already launched and logged into your SDEV32Bit Virtual Machine (VM) from the Oracle VirtualBox, click on the gedit icon found on the left side of the screen of your VM.
