Webpage
 A document which can be displayed in a web
browser such as Firefox, Google Chrome,
Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer or Edge, or
Apple's Safari. These are also often called just
"pages.“
Website
 A collection of web pages which are grouped
together and usually connected together in
various ways. Often called a "web site" or
simply a "site."
Dynamic Web Page Creation

Web server
 A computer that hosts a website on the
Internet.
Dynamic Web Page Creation
PHP and MySQL

Static Webpage
 Static by definition means something that does
not change. The first pages on the World Wide
Web were largely static and unchanged,
delivering the same information about a
particular topic to anyone who visited.
Dynamic Webpage
 Dynamic web pages contents displayed on the
website may change from user to user and/or
from time to time. Examples of the dynamic web
pages are Amazon, Yahoo, Gmail, CNN and iTunes
websites.

Script
 "Scripts" are distinct from the core code of the
application, which is usually written in a different
language, and are often created or at least
modified by the end-user.
Program
 The program has an executable form that the
computer can use directly to execute the
instructions. The same program in its human-
readable source code form, from which executable
programs are derived (e.g., compiled)

 PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor.

 PHP is a very popular and widely-used
open source server-side scripting language
to write dynamically generated web pages.
 PHP was originally created by Rasmus
Lerdorf in 1994.
 It was initially known as Personal Home
Page.
Dynamic Web Page Creation
PHP and MySQL

 It is used to manage dynamic content,

databases, session tracking, even build
entire e-commerce sites.
 It is integrated with a number of popular
databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Oracle, Sybase, Informix, and Microsoft SQL
Server.
PHP scripts are executed on the server and
the result is sent to the web browser as
plain HTML
Dynamic Web Page Creation

What You Can Do with PHP

 You can generate pages and files
dynamically.
 You can collect data from a web form such
as user information, email, phone no, etc.
 You can send emails to the users of your
website.
Dynamic Web Page Creation

What You Can Do with PHP

 You can store, delete, and modify
information in your database.
 You can restrict unauthorized access to
your website.
 You can encrypt data for safe transmission
over internet.
 You can send and receive cookies to track
the visitor of your website.

Advantages of PHP over Other Languages

 Easy to learn: PHP is easy to learn and use.
For beginner programmers who just started
out in web development, PHP is often
considered as the preferable choice of
language to learn.
 Open source: PHP is an open-source project.
It is developed and maintained by a
worldwide community of developers who
make its source code freely available to
download and use.
Dynamic Web Page Creation

Advantages of PHP over Other Languages

 Portability: PHP runs on various platforms
such as Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS, 
etc. and it is compatible with almost all
servers used today such Apache, IIS, etc.
 Fast Performance: Scripts written in PHP
usually execute or runs faster than those
written in other scripting languages like ASP,
Ruby, Python, Java, etc.

Setting Up a Local Web Server

 PHP script execute on a web server running PHP.
 The Apache Web server
 The PHP engine
 The MySQL database server
 You can either install them individually or choose
a pre-configured package for your operating
system like Linux and Windows. Popular pre-
configured package are XAMPP and WampServer.

PHP Syntax
 A PHP script starts with the <?php and
ends with the ?> tag.
 Every PHP statement end with a semicolon
(;) — this tells the PHP engine that the end
of the current statement has been
reached.

PHP Syntax
<?php
// Some code to be executed
echo "Hello, world!";
?>

Case Sensitivity in PHP

 Variable names in PHP are case-sensitive.
As a result the variables $variable,
$Variable and $VARIABLE are treated as
three different variables.
 However the keywords, function and
classes names are case-insensitive. 
 $get = $GET = $Get
Dynamic Web Page Creation
PHP and MySQL

Variables in PHP
 A variable does not need to be declared before
adding a value to it. PHP automatically converts
the variable to the correct data type, depending
on its value. 
 All variables in PHP start with a $ sign, followed by
the name of the variable.
 A variable name must start with a letter or the
underscore character _.
 A variable name cannot start with a number.
 $var_name = value;
Dynamic Web Page Creation

Variables in PHP
<?php
// Declaring variables
$txt = "Hello World!";
$number = 10;

// Displaying variables value

echo $txt; // Output: Hello World!
echo $number; // Output: 10
?>

PHP - Operator Types

 Operators are symbols that tell the PHP
processor to perform certain actions
 Arithmetic Operators
 Comparison Operators
 Logical (or Relational) Operators
 Assignment Operators

PHP GET and POST
 There are two ways the browser client can
send information to the web server.
 The GET Method
 The POST Method
 Before the browser sends the information,
it encodes it using a scheme called URL
encoding
 Dynamic Web Page Creation
PHP and MySQL

PHP GET
 The GET method sends the encoded user
information appended to the page
request. The page and the encoded
information are separated by the ?
character. 
 The GET method produces a long string
that appears in your server logs, in the
browser's Location: box.

PHP GET
<form action="get.php" method="GET">
Name:<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?php
// It will display the data that it was received from the
form called name
// isset — Determine if a variable is declared and is
different than NULL
if (isset($_GET['name'])) {
echo ($_GET['name']); }
?>
Dynamic Web Page Creation
PHP and MySQL

PHP POST
 The POST method transfers information via
HTTP headers and put into a header called
QUERY_STRING.
 The data sent by POST method goes
through HTTP header so security depends
on HTTP protocol.
Dynamic Web Page Creation

PHP POST
<form action=“post.php" method=“POST">
Name:<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?php
// It will display the data that it was received from the
form called name
// isset — Determine if a variable is declared and is
different than NULL
if (isset($_POST['name'])) {
echo ($_POST['name']); }
?>

Database
 A database is an organized collection of data,
generally stored and accessed electronically from a
computer system.
 Where databases are more complex they are
often developed using formal design and
modeling techniques.
 A database is a separate application that stores a
collection of data.

SQL – Structured Query Language

 SQL is a standard language for accessing
and manipulating databases.
SQL Commands
 SQL commands are instructions, coded
into SQL statements, which are used to
communicate with the database to
perform specific tasks, work, functions and
queries with data.

Database Tables
 A database most often contains one or more
tables. Each table is identified by a name (e.g.
"Customers" or "Orders"). Tables contain records
(rows) with data. 
Dynamic Web Page Creation

Data Manipulation Language (DML)

 DML resembles simple English language and
enhances efficient user interaction with the
system. The functional capability of DML is
organized in manipulation commands like
 SELECT
 UPDATE
 INSERT INTO
 DELETE FROM
Dynamic Web Page Creation
PHP and MySQL

Data Manipulation Language (DML)

 SELECT: This command is used to retrieve rows
from a table.
 The syntax is SELECT [column name(s)] from
[table name] where [conditions].

 UPDATE: This command modifies data of one or

more records. An update command syntax is
 UPDATE [table name] SET [column name = value]
where [condition].
Dynamic Web Page Creation

Data Manipulation Language (DML)

 INSERT: This command adds one or more records
to a database table.
 The insert command syntax is INSERT INTO [table
name] [column(s)] VALUES [value(s)].

 DELETE: This command removes one or more

records from a table according to specified
conditions.
 Delete command syntax is DELETE FROM [table
name] where [condition].
