PHP5 and MySQL® Bible by Tim Converse and Joyce Park with Clark Morgan


Sinopsis

PHP is the Web development language written by and for Web developers. PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. The product was originally named Personal Home Page Tools, and many people still think that’s what the acronym stands for. But as it expanded in scope, a new and more appropriate (albeit GNU-ishly recursive) name was selected by community vote. PHP is currently in its fifth major rewrite, called PHP5 or just plain PHP.
 
PHP is a server-side scripting language, which can be embedded in HTML or used as a standalone binary (although the former use is much more common). Proprietary products in this niche are Microsoft’s Active Server Pages, Macromedia’s ColdFusion, and Sun’s Java Server Pages. Some tech journalists used to call PHP “the open source ASP” because its functionality is similar to that of the Microsoft product—although this formulation was misleading, as PHP was developed before ASP. Over the past few years, however, PHP and server-side Java have gained momentum, while ASP has lost mindshare, so this comparison no longer seems appropriate.
 
We’ll explore server-side scripting more thoroughly in Chapter 2, but for the moment you can think of it as a collection of super-HTML tags or small programs that run inside your Web pages—except on the server side, before they get sent to the browser. For example, you can use PHP to add common headers and footers to all the pages on a site or to store form-submitted data in a database.
