    Server side scripting

    Server-side scripting is a web server technology in


    which a user's request is fulfilled by running a script
    directly on the Web server to generate dynamic HTML
    pages.
    In client-side scripting, the scripts are first
    downloaded, and then interpreted and executed by
    the Web browser.
    Server-side scripting enables the ability to highly
    customize the response based on the user's
    requirements, access rights, or queries into data stores.

    Server side scripting technologies
    ASP - Microsoft designed, primarily Windows based.
    ASP.NET - part of Microsoft's .NET platform and is the
    successor to ASP
    JSP - a Java-based system for embedding Java-related
    code in HTML pages
    PHP - open source solution based on including code in
    its own language into an HTML page
    Ruby on Rails - a free web application framework that
    aims to increase the speed and ease with database
    driven Web sites creation

    Why PHP?
    PHP runs on different operating system platforms
    (Windows, Linux, Unix and so on) seamlessly
    PHP is compatible with almost all Web servers used
    today (Apache, IIS and so on)
    PHP is free to download from the official website
    PHP is easy to learn and runs efficiently on any
    compatible Web server
    Extensive help is available through different sources
    (books, Internet community and so on)

    Server side processing
    You enter the address of the Web page in the
    browsers address bar, e.g.
    http://www.facebook.com/login.php
    Your browser sends a request to the host
    (server) requesting the Web page
    The Web server process the request and reads
    the requested file (login.php) from the hard
    drive

    Server side processing
    Web server detects that the file is a PHP file and thus it
    asks the PHP interpreter to process the file
    PHP interpreter, while executing the file, finds that the
    page has calls to MySQL database, and as a result, PHP
    interpreter asks MySQL to process the queries
    PHP interpreter completes the execution of the file with
    the results returned from MySQL
    Web server returns the resulting HTML text returned by
    the PHP interpreter to your Web browser
    Your Web browser then renders a Web page based on the
    HTML text returned by the Web server

    WAMP Environment
    WAMP stands for Windows Apache MySQL PHP
    WAMP solution included the following software:
    Apache
    PHP
    MySQL
    PHPmyadmin
    SQLitemanager
    Wampserver service manager

    Placing a PHP script within a
    document
    All PHP code needs to be enclosed within
    beginning and ending tags, i.e. <?php and ?>
    PHP blocks of code
    PHP processing can be turned on and off within a
    script by closing and reopening the PHP tags.
    Is PHP Installed?
    If you are unsure of your web hosts capability to run PHP,
    its recommended to follow this part.
    Open Notepad++. Type the following into a new text
    document and save it as info.php (or any file name that
    youll remember) in your webroot.
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>My first PHP page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <?php phpinfo(); ?>
    </body>
    </html>
    Is PHP Installed?
    Now point your browser localhost/info.php. If the page
    looks similar to the image below, PHP is installed
    correctly.





    First PHP Page
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>My first PHP page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <?php echo "<h1>Hello World!</h1>"; ?>
    </body>
    </html>








    It is only the server that can see the PHP codes - the
    client (the browser) only sees the result!
