ABSTRACT
PHP is a server-side scripting language. When a visitor to a WWW page
visits a page that is a PHP page, the WWW server gets a PHP
interpreter to examine the page. The PHP interpreter will produce
some HTML which is then shipped by the WWW server to the visitor's
computer and is interpreted by their WWW browser.
As well as the usual constructs that most languages have, in PHP,
you can read from files, write to files and execute system commands;
you can send mail; you can interrogate an IMAP server; you can access
LDAP servers; you can process XML documents; you can do sophisticated
mathematical calculations; you can access most of the popular database
servers including Oracle, Sybase, Generic ODBC, MSQL and MySQL.
In this talk, we look at the language and at some of the above
possibilities. The talk will be illustrated with demonstrations.
SPEAKER
Barry Cornelius works for the IT Service at the University of Durham.
He uses PHP, MySQL and LDAP extensively in his work. Before moving to
his present post, he was a lecturer in Computer Science first at the
University of Hull and then at the University of Durham. His main
interest was in the design of programming languages. Recently, he
taught a course on programming using Java to first year students at
the University of Durham. In March 2001, his book on Java entitled
Understanding Java was published by Addison-Wesley. During the last
two years, he has been studying C#, Visual Basic.NET, the .NET
Framework and Web Services.
