Web Development Using PHP
Introduction
We have been developing dynamic database driven websites since 1998 although we only began using PHP in 2004.
PHP is very similar to ASP in that it allows websites to integrate with databases in order to provide a
functional (no-static) website. PHP is open-source meaning that it is free & typically runs on a Linux server
although it can run on Microsoft IIS servers.
PHP is extremely popular especially with small businesses who cannot afford the more costly Microsoft alternatives.
