PHP Tags For Game Design

the PHP link sent to me the previous topic was too difficult to find tags for game programming.
This is a list of tags and their functions when written and interpreted, which I've been looking for a long time, Its simple and has a simple description of what they do:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/default.asp


(this Is optional to read)
click on them for more advanced info and ideas on how to use the tag
there is also a picture/example that is interactable(clicking "try it yourself") to see how it works which will make you ask questions and which they were nice to have the answers below the example :D

On the left side margin, you can select how the tags are listed under "HTML Reference" by Function:
(which is listed from Basic to advanced, nice for beginners like me)or by Alphabet (to scroll through faster)
Maybe there is a better place for tag reference but I like w3schools since its very simple and quick to learn.I try learning this only to fullfill my vision of a first-time ever survival-horror browser game , not to hack or disrupt someones computer like those antivirus companies are doing for profit :x
If you think there's better places or there's something wrong or alternatives, post it, this is also the place where I learned a litttle bit of HTML, not PHP.net/.com/.whatever. I strongly recommend to learn PHP from here, I tried others, trust me.

I have always used PHP.net to search for functions if I need to know how to use them, but w3schools is a great place as well. W3S is more of a tutorial, whereas PHP.net is more of a reference. However, PHP.net is much more complete.

Also, PHP's phrases are called "keywords" or "commands" since it is a programming language, not tags :) "Tags" is reserved for mark-up languages such as HTML, XHTML, XAML or XML.
