When I get the time, hopefully in a matter of days rather than weeks, this page will contain text and illustrations that exhibit my creativity and/or technical skill with the server-side scripting language PHP.
PHP differs from Javascript in a number of ways, the main one being that it is executed by a server application such as Apache working on a "server" computer rather than by a browser such as Internet Explorer working on a "client" computer. This is an important advance on scripting for the web. One of its great advantages is that it works seamlessly with a database such as MySQL. Another advantage is that it greatly reduces the risk of a web-user's computer being hijacked by malicious software.
