PHP and MySQL
PHP ("Hypertext Preprocessor"), a programming language, and MySQL, a database application, are currently the best combination for data-driven Web sites. An unofficial Netcraft survey (http://www.php.net/usage.php) shows that PHP usage has jumped from 2 million hosts in April 2000, to 6 million in April 2002.

About PHP
PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language that creates dynamic web pages. The power behind PHP is that it allows webmasters to create very sophisticated web pages with complex operations that are easily interpreted by all web browsers. That's because, like ASP, it's the web server that processes the PHP scripts and returns simple HTML instructions back to a browser.

Many web programmers have found PHP to be a welcome alternative to Perl CGI scripts because it was developed specifically for the web. PHP offers simplicity and elegance, often saving dozens of programming steps and keeping the number of files to a minimum. Unlike Perl, PHP scripts are embedded within your HTML file, making the program easier to read, debug and understand at a glance.

PHP also supports a massive number of databases, including Informix, Oracle,
Sybase, Solid, and PostgreSQL—as well as the ever-present ODBC. PHP contains many Web-specific functions that facilitate advanced Web features such as:

— authentication
— XML
— dynamic image creation
— WDDX
— shared memory support and dynamic PDF document creation
— form interpretation
— cookies
— http-header manipulation
— database access
— automatic headers and footers
— dynamic page generation

Events Online servers support PHP version 4.0.6.

About MySQL
MySQL is a small, compact database program ideal for business applications.
