Brief History of PHP

PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) was created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994.
PHP 2 (1995) transformed the language into a Server-side embedded scripting language. Added database support. PHP 3 (1998) added support for ODBC data sources, multiple platform support, email protocols (SNMP,IMAP). PHP 4 (2000) became an independent component of the web server for added efficiency. PHP 5 (2004) adds Zend Engine II with object oriented programming.

PHP Syntax
<?php $message = "Hello, World!"; echo $message; ?>
Every statement is mentioned under the <?...?>. There are two basic statements to output text with PHP: echo and print. Each code line in PHP must end with a semicolon.

PHP Arrays
An array is a special variable, which can store multiple values in one single variable. In PHP, there are three kind of arrays: a) Numeric array - An array with a numeric index b) Associative array - An array where each ID key is associated with a value c) Multidimensional array - An array containing one or more arrays

PHP Forms
You can have more than one Form on single web page. Names are not generally important for forms. Values submitted in forms are always string , although once they get into PHP program they may converted to actual data type. Not all form field names and values become available to your PHP program when it get submitted.

PHP Cookies
A cookie is often used to identify a user. Each time the same computer requests a page with a browser, it will send the cookie.

a)Create Cookies- We use setcookie(name,value,time() method to create cookie.

Syntaxsetcookie(name,value,time()+60); b) Delete Cookie- To delete cookie we set time in Past.

Syntax-

setcookie(name,value,time()-1);

CONCLUSION
PHP is a great tool for writing dynamic web pages. Few things we must remember:
i. PHP is a server-side technology, and does not work in a browser. ii. The filename must have .php extension. iii. PHP enhanced pages can contain a mixture of HTML and PHP code. iv. PHP code must be enclosed in a <?php ?> tag.
