> [@](#): > > just joining all the testing. I have no idea what php tags are so… First we look at the code tag. It puts the contents into a fixed-width font and prevents further vB code evaluation inside the box, which is useful for posting computer code. Like thus: ```auto #include #include #include #define Pi 3.14159265358979323846 main(int argc, char *argv[]){ printf("Hello, World "); return(0); } ``` (in case you’re wondering, that’s a C program, starting off the way most of my programs start off, but with a filler body). Well, the php tag is a special case of the code tag. php is the language in which this message board was written, so the programmers naturally consider php to be a fairly important sort of computer code. So they made a special version of the code tag which would color-code different parts of a php program, according to what they do. I don’t personally know php, but I suspect that at least a few of the following will show up in different colors: ```php do for next until if then else while not true false foo bar ``` [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/test-test/247664.md?page=1)
