php dummy needs help

Post by thesarge »

I know nothing about php, I have a website(not a blog) that used wordpress in its development, I want to add a link as an exchange with another website. Is there an very easy wysiwyg type of program that a php dummy like me can use. I don't to use the developer for such a minor change.

I think you probably just need the tag <a href>. While is purely html. See my example below.

Code: Select all

 
<html>
<a href="www.drudgereport.com">Drudge Report</a>
</html>
 
The above code will create a link to the drudgereport.

If you want to do the same thing in php, just echo it and put it in quotes as follows:

Code: Select all

 
<?php
echo '<a href="www.drudgereport.com">Drudge Report</a>';
?>
 
I hope this helps. I suggest going through some tutorial on php and html which can be located very easily with a google search.
