PHP Programming and Application_PHP Tutorial
Chapter 1 Introduction to PHP3
PHP is a server-built-in script language. Its emergence makes it possible to quickly develop dynamic web on Unix.
PHP was conceived by Rasmus Lerdorf in the fall of 1994. The earliest unreleased version was on his homepage that he used to keep in touch with people viewing his online resume. The first version delivered to users was released in early 1995, and it was only used as a personal homepage creation tool. At that time it only included a very simple analysis engine that understood only a few macros and a set of tools for homepage information feedback (a guestbook, a counter and a few other things). In mid-1995, Rasmus rewrote the entire parser and named it PHP/FI 2. FI comes from another software package he wrote for html form integration data. He merged the personal homepage tool and the form integration tool together, and added mSQL database support, so there was PHP/FI. Since then, PHP/FI has spread at an amazing speed, and people have begun to use it to write programs.
We are unable to accurately estimate its usage scope, but it is estimated that by the end of 1996, at least 15,000 sites in the world were using PHP/FIl. By mid-1997 this number had grown to over 50,000 sites. In mid-1997 we also discovered a major turning point in the development of PHP. This is how the development of PHP has been upgraded from Rasmus's personal hobby to the organized work of a group of programmers. Later, this parser was rewritten by Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans. Through this comprehensive rewrite, a large number of PHP/FI functions were transplanted into PHP3 and became the basic prototype of PHP3.
By mid-1998, there were already a large number of commercial products, such as C2's StrongHold web server and RedHat Linux bundled with PHP/FI parser or PHP3 parser. According to conservative data estimated by NetCraft, PHP has been used by the world Used by over 150,000 sites. Through further analysis, we know that the number of its uses is far greater than the number of sites using Netscape's flagship product, the enterprise-class WEB server. PHP3 extensively adopts the syntax of C, Java and Perl languages, and adds various PHP own features. One difference between it and JavaScript and other languages is that PHP3 is executed on the server, and what the client sees is the result of running it on the server. This means that if you want to use PHP3 scrpit, you must have WEB SERVER support.
PHP3 supports HTTP authentication, cookies, and GIF image creation. One of its most representative features is its database layer, which makes it very simple to write database-based web pages. The following lists the currently supported databases:
Oracle, Sybase, mSQL, MySQL, Informix, Solid dBase, ODBC, Unix dbm, PostgreSQL, Adabas D, FilePro Velocis.
PHP3 also supports network programming with services using POP3, HTTP, SNMP, NNTP, IMAP and other protocols.

PHP: A Key Language for Web Development
Apr 13, 2025 am 12:08 AM
PHP is a scripting language widely used on the server side, especially suitable for web development. 1.PHP can embed HTML, process HTTP requests and responses, and supports a variety of databases. 2.PHP is used to generate dynamic web content, process form data, access databases, etc., with strong community support and open source resources. 3. PHP is an interpreted language, and the execution process includes lexical analysis, grammatical analysis, compilation and execution. 4.PHP can be combined with MySQL for advanced applications such as user registration systems. 5. When debugging PHP, you can use functions such as error_reporting() and var_dump(). 6. Optimize PHP code to use caching mechanisms, optimize database queries and use built-in functions. 7

PHP is mainly procedural programming, but also supports object-oriented programming (OOP); Python supports a variety of paradigms, including OOP, functional and procedural programming. PHP is suitable for web development, and Python is suitable for a variety of applications such as data analysis and machine learning.
PHP vs. Other Languages: A Comparison
Apr 13, 2025 am 12:19 AM
PHP is suitable for web development, especially in rapid development and processing dynamic content, but is not good at data science and enterprise-level applications. Compared with Python, PHP has more advantages in web development, but is not as good as Python in the field of data science; compared with Java, PHP performs worse in enterprise-level applications, but is more flexible in web development; compared with JavaScript, PHP is more concise in back-end development, but is not as good as JavaScript in front-end development.
PHP and Python: Code Examples and Comparison
Apr 15, 2025 am 12:07 AM
PHP and Python have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on project needs and personal preferences. 1.PHP is suitable for rapid development and maintenance of large-scale web applications. 2. Python dominates the field of data science and machine learning.
PHP: Handling Databases and Server-Side Logic
Apr 15, 2025 am 12:15 AM
PHP uses MySQLi and PDO extensions to interact in database operations and server-side logic processing, and processes server-side logic through functions such as session management. 1) Use MySQLi or PDO to connect to the database and execute SQL queries. 2) Handle HTTP requests and user status through session management and other functions. 3) Use transactions to ensure the atomicity of database operations. 4) Prevent SQL injection, use exception handling and closing connections for debugging. 5) Optimize performance through indexing and cache, write highly readable code and perform error handling.
