PHP for Server-Side

Preprocessing

Chapter 08
Overview and Objectives
• Present a brief history of the PHP language
• Discuss how PHP fits into the overall web picture
• Discuss PHP script development and testing
• Incorporate into our home page a PHP-generated welcome message
• Show how to cause our home page to be refreshed (reloaded) every so often
• Implement the server-side functionality of our feedback form:
– sending the user’s feedback to the business via email,
– sending a copy of the e-mail to the client,
– storing a copy of the feedback on the server
• Implement an alternate version of our BMI calculator
• Show how to send HTML-encoded e-mail
• Use the POST value of the method attribute of the form element to submit form data
• Discuss several features of the PHP language, as required for our purposes:
– Comments
– variables (including superglobals),
– numerical and string data types,
– expressions and operators, arrays,
– built-in and programmer defined functions,
– file output,
– server-side inclusion of files

PHP History
• PHP stood for Personal Home Page, when originally implemented
by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995 for tracking accesses to his online
resume.
• A revised version was called PHP/FI, where FI stood for Forms
Interpreter.
• Now users prefer to use the recursive name PHP: Hypertext
Preprocessor.
• Perl was the language of choice for server-side computing prior to
PHP.
• Constructs of PHP: Origins in Perl and similar to JavaScript.
• Source code for PHP was made public and that led to a vibrant
community of developers.

Chapter 08: PHP for Server-Side Preprocessing


PHP as a Server-Side
Scripting Language
• Most web servers support a PHP interpreter.
• May not automatically have access to PHP on a server
provided by an ISP.
• PHP has to be activated and configured for use
• A web server may spawn a separate operating system process
to handle PHP requests, or it may be “built-into” the server:
This will be “transparent to the user”.
• PHP-related pages provided on the CD-ROM cannot be
viewed directly from the CD-ROM.
• PHP-related pages will need to be uploaded to a PHP-enabled
web server in order to function properly.

PHP: A Simple Example

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<!-- welcome.php -->
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Welcome Message with Output from the PHP date()
Function</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<h2>Welcome!</h2>
<?php
echo "<h3>It's ".date("l, F jS").".<br />";
echo "The time is ".date("g:ia").".</h3>";
?>
</body>
</html>
Chapter 08: PHP for Server-Side Preprocessing
Diving Right In:
What do we see in welcome.php?
• A PHP script between the PHP “delimiters”: <?php … ?>
• Two PHP echo statements that send strings containing markup to the web page
(note that statements end with a semicolon).
• The use of the PHP built-in function date() to return a date value for inclusion
in the web page.
– date("l, F jS") returns the current date as a string, with the day in long (l) form,
the full (F) name of the month, the date of the month in the Julian calendar (j), with the
appropriate suffix (S) appended (the comma and two spaces are just literal characters)
– date("g:ia") actually returns a time, rather than a date, again as a string, with g
giving the hour in 12-hour format with no leading zeros, i giving the minutes with leading
zeros, and a causing am or pm to be appended, as appropriate (the colon is a literal
character)
• The (somewhat unorthodox) use of the period (.) as the string concatenation
operator in PHP. Can you spot which periods are used like this, and which are just
periods at the ends of sentences?
