How to Link to a PHP File
A website is made up of Web pages. Users move between Web pages through links that direct them to other Web pages. A Web page can be an HTML file or it can be a file in a scripting language such as PHP that outputs HTML code. Since both HTML and PHP files are considered Web pages, you can link to a PHP file the same way you link to any Web page in a website.
