1 PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and CSS are the wonderful way in which they all work
together to produce dynamic web content. Describe the specific role each play in that
context.
[5 marks]
 PHP is a server-side scripting language that allows the client to receive output on the
processing that happens within the server. Since this processing is completed by using the
resources of the server, when a request is filed, it sends the HTML back to the browser
thanks to the PHP programming.
 MySQL is a relational database management system based on SQL – Structured Query
Language. The application is used for a wide range of purposes, including data
warehousing, e-commerce, and logging applications. The most common use for MySQL
however, is for the purpose of a web database.
 JavaScript helps web developers to make web pages dynamic and interactive by
implementing custom client-side scripts. At the same time, the developers can also use
cross-platform runtime engines like Node.js to write server-side code in JavaScript. They
can even combine JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3 to create web pages that look good
across browsers, platforms, and devices.
 CSS allows you to easily link to other documents in a website. With the help of CSS, you
can have a control over the various elements in different web pages of your site. CSS
only defines the structure and content presentation of a website. It has nothing to do with
the design of a website.

values like email, month, number, range, search, tel, color, week, url, time, date,
datetime-local etc.
 Placeholders - This feature in html5 has provided the assistance to many new users. It
gives the hint to what is to be inserted in a particular field of the form. It is there when the
user has not started writing something in the input field. It is sometime also called
dummy text. It is present temporarily.
