ABSTRACT

One of the main objectives of this internship is to expose us to a particular job


and a profession or industry. While we might have an idea about what a job is
like, we won't know until we actually perform it if it's what we thought it was,
if we have the training and skills to do it and if it's something we like.
The PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) is a programming language that
allows web developers to create dynamic content that interacts with databases.
PHP is basically used for developing web based software applications.
PHP started out as a small open source project that evolved as more and more
people found out how useful it was. Rasmus Lerdorf unleashed the first
version of PHP way back in 1994.PHP is a MUST for students and working
professionals to become a great Software Engineer specially when they are
working in Web Development Domain. PHP is a recursive acronym for "PHP:
Hypertext Preprocessor". PHP is a server side scripting language that is
embedded in HTML. It is used to manage dynamic content, databases, session
tracking, even build entire e-commerce sites. PHP really does make that
dependence possible. In this case, the promise is as good as the result you get.
PHP emphasizes code readability and a concise syntax that lets you write
applications using fewer lines of code than other programming languages
require. We can also use a coding style that meets our needs, given that PHP
supports the functional, imperative, object-oriented, and procedural coding
styles. PHP is a well-designed language that can be used for real world
programming. PHP is a very high-level, dynamic, object-oriented, general
purpose programming language that uses interpreter and can be used in a vast
domain of applications. PHP was designed to be easy to understand and use.
