PHP

What is PHP?

PHP is a web-based, object-oriented programming language. In the past, Personal Home Page (PHP) is used in the "Personal Homepage" process, today it continues to be used as PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. Thanks to PHP, dynamic, self-managing websites are created. It is maintained through the PHP community today, with the advance of PHP produced by Rasmus Lerdorf, a software developer who was originally Danish in 1995 but survived in Canada.

PHP Databases and Databases Relationships

Even with the ODBC plug-in, it becomes quite easy to open a connection that supports standards. For other databases, cURL plugin or sockets (like CouchDB) can be used. For small manageable websites, it is much more beneficial to use a MySQL database. Using a few PHP commands and functions it becomes possible to establish a fairly fast connection.

As long as the database setup and structure is prepared well, it produces very fast and efficient results. In the MySQL plug-in, the operations implemented with the most basic situation are adding data into a table, pulling this data somewhere, updating or deleting the data regularly.

One of the most emphasized and strongest features of PHP is its advanced and wide database support. Using one of the plugins for the database like MySQL or using an abstraction layer like PDO, it becomes possible to produce web site pages with database connections with the help of PHP.
