How to Make Text Changes on a PHP Page

PHP is short for Hypertext Preprocessor, a reflective programming language that produces Web pages that respond to a viewer’s actions. PHP is embedded within HTML script but can also stand on its own. You can make text changes on a PHP page by changing information in the fields embedded in the HTML script. Read on to learn how to make text changes on a PHP page.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Computer with Internet access

1. Locate the fields within the PHP script that you would like to change. A language file is usually embedded in the catalog directory. Within these files, there are at least three fields that you can alter.
2. Open your "Admin" to start editing the PHP script. After you have opened your "Admin," click "Localization." Choose the "Languages" option from the menu and then click "Define."
3. Pick the corresponding language that you want to edit. After you click "Define," a window will come up, which contains a complete list of language files. Be sure that the particular language that you would like to edit is included in this list.
4. Make your changes. Using the appropriate scripting language, start encoding the new script.
5. Run the program. After you make sure that you have modified all the necessary fields in your script, test your program. If you encounter any problems while running the program, double check your work and fix any errors.

Tips & Warnings

• Pay attention to details when encoding a new PHP script because one wrong character may cause problems in the program's overall performance.
• Add a slash to words that need an apostrophe, like this: won\t.
• Make sure that you use the appropriate scripting language. Using the wrong language may create glitches on your PHP page.
