How to Add a Bullet in PHP
A bullet is used to make items in a list stand out from the rest of the text on a Web page. Use the "<ul>" and "<li>" HTML tags to create bulleted lists. You can use the PHP scripting language to add the values from an array to the list. If you use a PHP array to add values to a list, you only have to change one line to add or delete list items.
