Get high performance, robust internet, intranet or extranet solutions. Build browser-based process management, information delivery or collaboration systems for your organisation, your client-base or the world at large. Access and maintain high volumes of data in a secure, reliable database environment.

PHP scripting

PHP is a popular general-purpose server-side scripting language for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. PHP generally runs on a web server, taking PHP code as its input and creating Web pages as output. It is an open source product, which means it is has a huge support base and is free to download and use.

One of the benefits of PHP is that it runs on all of the main web servers (Linux, Unix, Windows, etc.) and is available for many different operating systems. This flexibility means that PHP has a wide installation base across the Internet with over 20 million domains currently hosted on servers with PHP installed.

MySQL database

PHP tends to go hand-in-hand with the MySQL relational database, an open source database that provides enterprise level performance, high reliability, scalability and ease of use. Again, the flexibility of its compatibility with servers and operating systems adds greatly to its popularity.

Combined or independent

PHP and MySQL are two of the components of the solution stack known as LAMP – Linux (operating system), Apache (web server), MySQL (database) and PHP / Perl / Python (development language). But the two products are just as capable in their own right. PHP will connect with databases such as MS SQL Server, Sybase, MS Access and PostgreSQL. MySQL data can be accessed by development tools such as MS Visual Studio, MS Access, C++, Java and Ruby (and of course Perl and Python).
