Introduction to PHP & MySQL

PHP or "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" is a widely-used Open Source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. Its syntax draws upon C, Java, and Perl, and is easy to learn. The main goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated web pages quickly, but you can do much more with PHP.

MySQL is a RDBMS (Relational database management system). We use such a system in order to store, retrieve and manage data related to our applications. Apache is an Open Source web server in wide usage. A web-server is required to host a web-application (webpage) on a remote server and is responsible for processing the request from the client, who wants to access the application (or webpage).

Learners: UG/PG CSE/IT/CS students.
