Mixing PHP statements in HTML documents

One nice thing about PHP pages is that you can easily mix PHP statements in HTML documents with XML processing tags like this: <?php PHP Statements ?> Here is a good example of mixing PHP statements with normail HTML document text:

<?php /* HeadOrTail.php 
* Copyright (c) 2002 by Dr. Herong Yang, http://www.herongyang.com/ 
*/ ?> 
I am tossing a coin now. Guess what the result will be? 
<?php $coin = rand(0,1); ?> 
<?php if ($coin==1) { ?> 
   Head 
<?php } else { ?> 
   Tail 
<?php } ?>

Run this script and see what you will get?

The above example is taken from PHP Tutorials – Herong’s Tutorial Notes – PHP Syntax
