Unit 5: Web-based System Development with PHP

PHP is a lightweight yet powerful server-side scripting language for web-based information systems development. In this unit you will learn how to write server-side scripts in PHP and how to develop web-based applications using PHP. Remember that scripts can run on either the client side or the server side. Both can generate dynamic web pages, but server-side scripts are generally more powerful. This unit is based on Chapter 19, PHP, in Deitel and some online documents.
