You probably know PHP is an excellent programming language and you can use it to build websites.
But what about installing it on a WordPress blog?
If you don’t know, you are in for a surprise.
You can install PHP on WordPress and you don of course have to register with WordPress to do so, but what about WordPress theme plugins?
WordPress theme developers have been asking themselves, why do we need to do all this to add PHP support to our WordPress blog sites?
In this article we will go through the process and explain what is required to install and use PHP on your blog.
The process of installing PHP on a blog site is fairly straightforward, but in this article, we will take a step back and look at the process in detail.
How to Install PHP on Your WordPress Blog Article WordPress has been around since 2002.
It is an open source, cross-platform web framework and is used by many different applications, including WordPress.
You should definitely install PHP and if you have any doubts about it, do a Google search on the subject.
It might take you a few days to find a WordPress installation that works for you.
The installation process on a site like this is pretty straightforward.
You need to have installed a theme.php file in your WordPress admin area.
There is a good chance you already have a theme that works with PHP.
For this tutorial we are going to use the default theme WordPress themes that come with WordPress.
For our example, we are installing the theme for our blog, but you can install a theme with any of the WordPress themes we have chosen in the tutorial.
Once installed, you need to create a new WordPress blog and name it something that looks like your website.
This will allow you to add the necessary files and information for your WordPress website.
We are going a step further and will also install the PHP modules needed to support PHP.
We will be using the php-mysql package.
Install php-myql You can use the free version of php-MYQL to install MySQL on your website, or you can download the Professional version and pay for it.
The Professional version comes with all the required files to support MySQL.
We do not recommend the free and professional versions, however, as you do not have the ability to modify or update the code to your liking.
Install PHP 5 on Your Blog The PHP 5 installer on WordPress will download all the necessary packages to support the latest PHP version, but it is recommended that you wait until after you have installed PHP to do this.
The php-php package can be installed by using the following command: sudo apt-get install php5 php-cli php-gd php-cgi php-file php-json php-xml php-png The php5-cli package will install the php5 package.
The mysql-server package will create a database for your MySQL server.
Install the PHP 5 package If you want to install the mysql-php or the php6 package, the command is more difficult, as they do not come with the PHP package.
However, it is still worth waiting until after installing php-PHP and php-GD before continuing.
Install MySQL Install the MySQL package If the php packages are installed correctly, the mysql package will be installed on your site.
The MySQL package does not come bundled with the php package, so you need a MySQL server, or install it separately.
For the mysql version, the php command is: sudo adduser mysql sudo aptitude install mysql sudo service mysql start If you do have a MySQL database on your server, you will need to set the database to the database name and password.
For example, to set MySQL database passwords, run: sudo mysql -u root -p mysql:password This will create and store the MySQL database.
This step can be skipped for a database that is already configured.
Install all the PHP files Now that you have the mysql database installed, the next step is to install all the php files necessary to support your WordPress site.
For instance, the file called config.php will need a file called php.ini.
We use this file to define the variables that will be set when a new post is created.
The file is located in /etc/php.ini and contains a list of variables.
For more information on the file, you can read more about php.php.
Once you have created a file that contains all the variables you need for your new WordPress site, run the following commands: sudo nano /etc.php We can see that the file has a list, so we needn’t worry about adding all of the variables.
After running these commands, we should see that our site is ready to be edited.
Let’s begin!
Creating a New WordPress Post Now that we have a WordPress site running, we need a post to be created.
Let us create a WordPress post by clicking the create post button.
Once we click create, a new window appears.
