Php

[tonybrown2387]

After the consistent use of scripting languages like ASP.Net and JavaScript comes the release of PHP which stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. Sometimes, it is also referred as personal home pages. Script when created through PHP are normally left for execution on a server which is blended with a popular database i.e. MySQL often. Being an open source tool, one could use it freely. Moreover, it is a cross platform language which lets people develop application for all operating systems. PHP files comes up with a .PHP extension as well as .php3 which contains HTML tags, scripts and other elements. It can be downloaded for free and anyone can learn it easily.

HTML is a very simple language to learn and very beneficial, even when you rely mostly upon software to create the codes for you. PHP is used for the dynamic site building.

Appropriate names should be given to the web design elements. One needs to follow good naming practice when using HTML for website design. However, roday PHP is getting used extensively for the purpose of website development.

Just use the w3schools site for learn and solve any problem in PHP.

first you need to create connection to the database

mysql_connect(servername,username,password);

below is an example we store the connection in a variable ($con) for later use in the script. The "die" part will be executed if the connection fails:

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","peter","abc123");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

// some code

mysql_close($con);
?>

mysql_close above will close the connection automatically when the script ends.

PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. PHP is now installed on more than 244 million websites and 2.1 million web servers. Originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995, the reference implementation of PHP is now produced by The PHP Group. While PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page, it now stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, a recursive backronym.

You can use msqli_connect to a database - notice the 'i' after mysql. It stands for improved and is considered a more secure and stable way to connect to databases over the older mysql_connect.

Though I've found that I need to do some garbage collection after using it because it opens a thread which is left open for about 2 days to the database which quickly results in all my threads being used - that sucks!

Anyway although you can adjust this setting from within mysql itself I always prefer to code defensively so would recommend that you use the 'thread' services to get the thread id and then kill it when you're done.
