About This Course
PHP is Open Source and Cross Platform, running on Unix, Linux, MS Windows, Apple Mac, AS/400 and more, and is often used with an OS-CP database and web server such as MySql and Apache. Thus PHP will work on the operating system and hardware that currently suits your applications and organisation.

Static Webpages are no longer sufficient for the needs of the Internet in the 21st Century. An increasing number of business sites use databases to store data and produce dynamic Webpages. PHP and mySQL are a cost-effective but powerful solution to building database driven Websites which can be developed on Windows and deployed on either Windows or Unix(Linux)servers. This course does not cover the PHP language itself in great depth but concentrates on getting up and running with the mySQL database, using PHP as the server-side control. PHP is a powerful, free server-side language which is relatively easy to learn for those who have never programmed before.
The goal of this course is to provide students with the knowledge and skills of developing web using PHP with MySQL and OpenSourceCMS Joomla.
