We are at the end of our chapter. I wanted to bring you softly to understand PHP.

I tried to explain the relationship between the client and the server. It may seem a bit weird as a starting point but I am sure this will be useful for you.
If you feel a little bit confused, don't worry: it won't be of any consequence for the rest of the lesson. The main thing was to read this chapter so that if somebody asks you about the "client/server relationship", you will not feel uneasy!


You wonder about what's next? Relax! There is nothing difficult. I know you like exercices: don't worry it is scheduled in the program. I want you first to practice, so that I can see what you are capable of as we get along .
