The PHP Story
Ever since Web designers found out about the <FORM> tag, the Internet has seen an explosion in the number of Web sites that depend heavily on user response and interactivity. For a long time, the primary language used to develop such Web sites was Perl. But ask any novice programmer, and he'll tell you that learning Perl isn't exactly a bed of roses...

As a result, there has been a proliferation of alternative server-side scripting languages, which perform many of the tasks previously handled by Perl, but have a shorter learning curve. The most well-known of these are ASP and PHP; while the former works primarily on the Windows platform in combination with a clutch of proprietary products, the latter has the unique distinction of being an open-source server-side scripting language that's both fun and easy to learn. Today, it is estimated that more than 1,00,000 Web sites use PHP as a server side scripting language.

PHP was first developed by Rasmus Lerdorf as a means of monitoring page views for his online resumé, and slowly started making a mark when PHP/FI was released in mid-1995. This version of PHP had support for some basic Web functions - the ability to handle form data, support for the mSQL database, and more.

As PHP's popularity grew, the development of the language shifted from Rasmus to a team of dedicated programmers who took upon themselves the onus of rewriting the PHP parser from scratch. The result of the efforts was PHP 3.0, which included support for a wider range of databases, including MySQL and Oracle. And PHP 4.0, which was released a few weeks ago, uses the powerful new Zend scripting engine to deliver better performance, supports Web servers other than Apache, and comes with in-built support for session management.

Oh yeah, PHP is good for all browsers and you can use HTML code in a PHP page. I guess its a little like ASP but easier...

 

ephy,
When you get really angry, which language do you swear in?

 

Real angry = French
Casual swearing = English

LOL!!!!

 

To clear up one point....

Netscape does support Dynamic HTML, however It is not done the same was as IE, so if you use DHTML, it will have to be platform spacific for the most part.

For something interesting, checkout www.neoplanet.com for the NeoPlanet Internet Browser. It is really cool and fast and is based on IE functionality. You can also have customized skins for it but unlike hotbar, it skins buttons and everything, not just the toolbar background.

 

Just to clear things up, PHP comes in two different forms, cgi executable (like perl scripts and such), or an even better one is a module for Apache Web Server. Apache will interpret the code and it will send HTML to your browser for you to see
