-    In this tutorial we assume that your server has activated support
-    for PHP and that all files ending in <filename class="extension">.php</filename>
-    are handled by PHP. On most servers, this is the default extension
-    for PHP files, but ask your server administrator to be sure. If
-    your server supports PHP, then you do not need to do anything. Just
-    create your <filename class="extension">.php</filename> files, put them in your
-    web directory and the server will automatically parse them for you.
-    There is no need to compile anything nor do you need to install
-    any extra tools. Think of these PHP-enabled files as simple HTML
-    files with a whole new family of magical tags that let you do all
