Macromedia Dreamweaver creates some of the PHP coding for you. What is PHP? PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor, an open source, server-side, HTML embedded scripting language used to create dynamic Web pages. In an HTML document, PHP script (similar syntax to that of Perl or C ) is enclosed within special PHP tags. Because PHP is embedded within tags, the author can jump between HTML and PHP (similar to ASP and Cold Fusion) instead of having to rely on heavy amounts of code to output HTML. And, because PHP is executed on the server, the client cannot view the PHP code. PHP can perform any task that any CGI program can do, but its strength lies in its compatibility with many types of databases. Also, PHP can talk across networks using IMAP, SNMP, NNTP, POP3, or HTTP. PHP was created sometime in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf. During mid 1997, PHP development entered the hands of other contributors. Two of them, Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans, rewrote the parser from scratch to create PHP version 3 (PHP3).

What is MySQL? MySQL, pronounced as 'my ess cue el' (each letter separately) and not "my SEE kwill", is a type of SQL database management featured in Thelix hosting plans. A database is an organized collection of information that a computer uses to select and display data. Databases can help organize and enhance your site content. Sites with dynamic pages and/or shopping cart software often need an underlying database structure.
