Basic PHP (14 February 2005)

Everything you can do with server-side includes you can also do with PHP...but with PHP you can do it better!

PHP is a programming language that you embed in your HTML pages, but which is processed on the server side (just like a server-side include). It can be used for a wide variety of things, including processing of form data, inclusion of files, and more.

The web programming class (539/739) covers PHP in great detail, including using PHP to access databases. Today we'll cover just the basics of PHP.
