i am coming from php and dont seem to quite understand how ruby works
with the browser. how does one implement ruby code into html code?

You will need a framework like rails or sinatra to do web “stuff”. I
recommend taking a look at rails, there are a lot of good tutorials
online
to help get you started.

A method of solution is perfect if we can forsee from the start,
and even prove, that following that method we shall attain our aim.

Not necessarily. For simple tasks it might be sufficient to just use
Ruby’s built in class CGI

Kind regards

but then how would i output using a browser?

You need a web server capable of using CGI interface. Any web server
should be able to do it these days.

A more general solution is:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

14

had issues with this:

#!/usr/bin/ruby
puts “content-type: text/html\n\n”
puts “Hello World!”

fixed it with this:

#!/xampp-1.74/Ruby192/bin/ruby
puts “content-type: text/html\n\n”
puts “Hello World!”

The php equivalent is erb - embedded ruby. Rails and Sinatra are. More
equivalent to something like the cakephp framework.
