PHP Hosting
(Hypertext Preprocessor)
What is PHP?
PHP is a popular server-side HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP
can collect form data, generate dynamic page content and process
cookies. It supports a wide range of databases including mSQL, MySQL,
MS-SQL, ODBC, Oracle, and PostgreSQL. PHP also supports a wide range
of protocols including IMAP, SNMP, NNTP, and POP3. PHP borrows from
the best of the Perl and C worlds, and has hundreds of built-in
functions to simplify most common tasks.
In other words (for beginners in computer world):
PHP is an extremely powerful scripting language. It sets you free
from almost all nightmarish low-level programming tasks, and allows
you to concentrate on the real job. You don't need to worry about all
those technical details like how to process form data and cookies. PHP
automatically handles those for you. There are no troublesome pointers
that cause all sort of problems either. You can store almost all your
data in incredibly flexible arrays, and read it without any hassle.
There are hundreds of built-in functions for most basic and some
advanced tasks. So if you are struggling with a seemingly trivial
problem chances are high that there is already a built-in function
that solves it automatically for you.
Where can I get PHP?
PHP is installed on your
PHP Hosting
service on request. You can also install it on your machine, if
you are interested in developing your pages locally and then uploading
them to our servers. This is useful, if you want to ensure that the
pages are functional before publishing them. However, there can be
problems, if you are using versions of software, which conflict with
ours. Please check our web cluster system environment before
developing locally.
If you want to install PHP under Windows, you can
download the latest version
from the official website. If you are going to install it under
anything other than Windows you must download the source code.
Then you will be able to compile PHP on your system.

Sessions handling
We support sessions, they just have to use a database session
handler instead of a file based session handler.
This is because we have a load-balanced web server and file based
session handler writes to the different directories that are located
in a different file server. You can find out more about database
session handling from
www.phpbuilder.com.
