PHP Development

PHP is compatible with all major web browsers, and although it is classified as CGI, PHP is a tool that provides much more power. It allows a web developer to dynamically construct a web page based on data gathered from a third source (a database or otherwise), and then communicate that data through almost any means provided by the Internet. At a fundamental level, PHP has all of the features of a complete programming language, but perhaps one of its most powerful features is database access. With PHP, it is possible to access over 19 different types of databases and manipulate data within those databases based on input from the user via a web page. PHP is server-side technology, so the person viewing the web page needs no special programs or browser plug-ins for PHP to work.

Example of PHP

DesignKuda uses a simple PHP script to rotate the picture at the top of this page. If you click refresh (F5) repeatedly on your browser, you will see this image change from time to time. PHP allows the image to automatically rotate at random when viewing pages on this site.
