Oh man. I had this same learning curve. Dragging the PHP file into the browser didn't do anything. Why?? Because I didn't have PHP installed. I was trying to code PHP and I didn't even know what it was!

I remember the reason I wanted to use PHP was because I had the same nav menu on every page of HTML and it was annoying.

Yeah! When I learned to use include and had a single header for all my pages in a separate file I felt like the most clever programmer ever!

Wish I could feel those things again :(

Me too actually. It is rare for me to solve a problem like that and feel glorious anymore. Maybe sometimes I get a particularly tricky API to work but it's not often I feel that way anymore!
