    This document discusses dynamic web development. It defines dynamic websites as those whose content can change based on factors like user input, time of access, or database content. Both client-side scripting, like JavaScript, and server-side scripting, like PHP, are used to create dynamic experiences. Client-side code runs locally in the browser for instant responses, while server-side code accesses backend resources. PHP is introduced as a widely used open-source server-side language that can be embedded in HTML pages to dynamically generate content. Over 20 million websites and 1 million servers use PHP.

    PHP

    1. Dynamic website?
    Classical

    hypertext navigation, with HTML


    or XHTML alone, provides static content,
    meaning that the user requests a web page
    and simply views the page and the
    information on that page.

    1. Dynamic website?
    However

    the content of a dynamic page


    might differ depending on:
    data

    in a posted HTML form


    parameters in the URL
    the type of browser being used
    the passage of time
    a cookie, session, database or server state
    Examples

    1. Dynamic website?
    The

    content
    displayed on the
    Amazon home
    page depends on:
    Time

    of the year
    Previous
    purchases
    Stock availability

    1. Dynamic website?
    The

    content of the
    search result page
    depends on the
    keywords you
    types in the search
    box

    1. Dynamic website?
    I

    think the most significant change in web


    design this decade has been the evolution
    to building dynamic sites.
    Chris Coyier, .net magazine, April 2010

    1. Dynamic website?
    Most

    websites we use every day are


    dynamic (facebook, hotmail, youtube)
    They

    are often created with the help of serverside languages such as PHP, Perl, ASP,
    ASP.NET, JSP, ColdFusion and other
    languages.

    Smaller

    businesses still use static websites


    (aka Billboard websites)
    Here

    is my favourite Keswick B&B (Alix )

    2. Client side scripting

    3. Server side scripting

    10

    4. Client side or server side?

    Client side
    Responses

    to interaction are more

    immediate
    Secure (data doesnt leave your computer)
    Plug-in/Browser Dependant

    E.g. You must have JavaScript enabled

    Processor

    is bottleneck

    Faster your processor, faster the website

    11

    4. Client side or server side?

    Server side
    Better

    for more complex processes that


    involve multiple resources, i.e. databases,
    files
    Security concerns

    Sensitive data sent out

    Independent

    No specific browser/plug-ins required

    Connection/Remote

    Processor are

    bottlenecks
    12

    4. Client side or server side?


    For some applications, you dont have a
    choice:
    Animated menu, pop-ups, scrolling text

    It

    needs to be instant => Client side

    Access to a database or a file on the


    server
    Needs

    access to server => Server side

    13

    4. Client side or server side?

    For other applications, both are possible


    User

    input validation
    Drop-down list population

    Which one should you go for?

    14

    4. Client side or server side?

    Languages
    Client

    side:

    JavaScript, VBScript

    Server

    Older executed by operating system

    side:

    C, Perl, Shell Scripts, CGI

    Newer executed by web server

    PHP, ASP, JSP, Cold Fusion, Python,

    15

    5. PHP
    PHP is a widely used, general-purpose scripting
    language that was originally designed for web
    development, to produce dynamic web pages.
    It can be embedded into HTML and generally runs
    on a web server, which needs to be configured to
    process PHP code and create web page content
    from it.
    It can be deployed on most web servers and on
    almost every operating system and platform free
    of charge.
    PHP is installed on over 20 million websites and 1
    million web servers.
