PHP is an established server-side scripting language for creating dynamic Web pages. As a language that has been designed expressly for the Web, it brings many features that commercial entities are looking for:
• Exceptionally short learning curve
• Quick development time
• Very high performance
Advantages
• PHP supports all major platforms (UNIX, Windows and even mainframes), and features native support for most popular databases.
• All these factors make it a very good choice for Web development
• PHP is lightweight and focused on the Web - where it can solve complex problem scenarios quicker.
MySQL is a database engine that's robust and efficient, easy to install and learn, secure, and available on many operating systems both under Open Source and Commercial licenses.
• It's easy to use: While a basic knowledge of SQL is required—and most relational databases require the same knowledge—MySQL is very easy to use. With only a few simple SQL statements, you can build and interact with MySQL.
• It's secure: MySQL includes solid data security layers that protect sensitive data from intruders. Rights can be set to allow some or all privileges to individuals. Passwords are encrypted.
• It's fast: In the interest of speed, MySQL designers made the decision to offer fewer features than other major database competitors, such as Sybase* and Oracle*. However, despite having fewer features than the other commercial database products, MySQL still offers all of the features required by most database developers.
• It supports several development interfaces: Development interfaces include JDBC, ODBC, and scripting (PHP and Perl), letting you create database solutions that run not only in your NetWare 6.5 environment, but across all major platforms, including Linux, UNIX, and Windows.
