1.3.3 PHP
PHP is server side back end programming language. It executes in server along with
maximum all available web servers like Apache, IIS (Internet Information Server) etc.., and return
the response as required MIME type. It is a Pre Process Hypertext, we could do many things on
server by using PHP on server and co-ordinate with DB server for CURD (Create, Update, Read,
and Delete) actions. Front end in the seance, UI which intact the users, it can done by HTML, or
any others. And UI Behavior is defined in UI back end Languages (Scripting languages) via: Java
script, VB script
PHP started out as a small open source project that evolved as more and more people found out
how useful it was. Rasmus Lerdorf unleashed the first version of PHP way back in 1994.
PHP is a server side scripting language that is embedded in HTML. It is used to manage dynamic
content, databases, session tracking, even build entire e-commerce sites.
PHP supports a large number of major protocols such as POP3, IMAP, and LDAP. PHP4 added
support for Java and distributed object architectures (COM and CORBA), making n-tier
development a possibility for the first time.
MySQL is a popular choice of database for use in web applications, and is a central
component of the widely used LAMP open source web application software stack—LAMP is an
acronym for "Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python." Free-software-open source projects that
require a full-featured database management system often use MySQL.
For commercial use, several paid editions are available, and offer additional functionality.
Applications which use MySQL databases include: TYPO3, Joomla, Word Press, phpBB, MyBB,
Drupal and other software built on the LAMP software stack. MySQL is also used in many high-
profile, large-scale World Wide Web products, including Wikipedia, Google (though not for
searches), ImagebookTwitter, Flickr, Nokia.com, and YouTube.
Inter images
MySQL is primarily an RDBMS and ships with no GUI tools to administer MySQL
databases or manage data contained within the databases. Users may use the included command
line tools, or use MySQL "front-ends", desktop software and web applications that create and
manage MySQL databases, build database structures, back up data, inspect status, and work with
data records. The official set of MySQL front-end tools, MySQL Workbench is actively developed
by Oracle, and is freely available for use.
Graphical
MySQL ships with some command line tools. Third-parties have also developed tools to
manage a MySQL server, some listed below. Maatkit - a cross-platform toolkit for MySQL,
PostgreSQL and Memcached, developed in Perl Maatkit can be used to prove replication is
working correctly, fix corrupted data, automate repetitive tasks, and speed up servers. Maatkit is
included with several GNU/Linux distributions such as CentOS and Debian and packages are
available for Programming. MySQL works on many different system platforms, including AIX,
BSDi, FreeBSD, HP-UX, eComStation, i5/OS, IRIX, Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows,
NetBSD, Novell NetWare, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, OS/2 Warp, QNX, Solaris, Symbian, SunOS,
SCO Open Server, SCO UnixWare, Sanos and Tru64. A port of MySQL to OpenVMS also exists.
MySQL is written in C and C++. Its SQL parser is written in yacc, and a home-brewed lexical
analyzer. Many programming languages with language-specific APIs include libraries for
accessing MySQL databases. These include MySQL Connector/Net for integration with
Microsoft's Visual Studio (languages such as C# and VB are most commonly used) and the JDBC
driver for Java. In addition, an ODBC interimage called MyODBC allows additional programming
languages that support the ODBC inter image to communicate with a MySQL database, such as
ASP or ColdFusion. The HTSQL - URL-based query method also ships with a MySQL adapter,
allowing direct interaction between a MySQL database and any web client via structured URLs.
Features
As of April 2009, MySQL offered MySQL 5.1 in two different variants: the open source
MySQL Community Server and the commercial Enterprise Server. MySQL 5.5 is offered under
the same licenses. They have a common code base and include the following features:
Cross-platform support
Stored procedures
Triggers
Cursors
Updatable Views
Information schema
Strict mode (ensures MySQL does not truncate or otherwise modify data to conform to an
underlying data type, when an incompatible value is inserted into that type)
X/Open XAdistributed transaction processing (DTP) support; two phase commit as part of this,
using Oracle's InnoDB engine
Multiple storage engines, allowing one to choose the one that is most effective for each table in
the application (in MySQL 5.0, storage engines must be compiled in; in MySQL 5.1, storage
engines can be dynamically loaded at run time): Native storage engines (MyISAM, Falcon, Merge,
Memory (heap), Federated, Archive, CSV, Black hole, Cluster, EXAMPLE, Maria, and InnoDB,
which was made the default as of 5.5). Partner-developed storage engines (solidDB, NitroEDB,
ScaleDB, TokuDB, Infobright (formerly Brighthouse), Kickfire, XtraDB, IBM DB2). InnoDB
used to be a partner-developed storage engine, but with recent acquisitions, Oracle now owns both
MySQL core and InnoDB.
