php stands for hypertext preprocessor. You know how you signed up for this board, that's a combination of php and mysql. You know how you created this topic? php and mysql. MySQL is a database which php sends stuff too basically.

php is a server side scripting language like asp but much faster than that. It is used to create dynamic pages which are different for each user.

PHP stands for hypertext preprocessor. It is a server-side scripting language that allows you to create dynamic pages that can be different for each user. Many application are built off and can be created using PHP. For example, many forums, shoutboxes, login/membership sites, role-playing games and major sites use PHP. This is just a small amount of what PHP can do.

 

PHP is commonly used with MySQL to store data, such as usernames, passwords, email addresses and other information about users and/or other stuff. An example is that each member of Xisto has a specific row set in a table in a MySQL database that is accessed every time there is user activity. Also, each topic of the forum is stored in a row, also known as a "record".

 

While PHP is a free server side scripting language, and MySQL is a database system, the main competitor to PHP and MySQL is ASP and MSSQL. ASP is a Microsoft-based technology that is similar to PHP, but runs on Windows machines only. MSSQL is similar to MySQL, it is also a Microsoft-based technology.

 

I recommend the use of PHP over ASP because it is free, it is easier to learn and that Xisto supports it. For your own server/testing purposes, you can download PHP at http://php.net/. There is also plenty of help there to get you started in learning and using it. For more help, you can always visit the PHP Tutorial at W3Schools.

 

I hope you understand more about PHP now.

ASP is only for windows, so if u dont plan on using a windows server then you might as well not even learn it.u dont exactly have to ONLY use mysql for a database in php. theres lots of other free ones, mysql is just the most popular and leading database program.
