Here, I will try to Give You a bit of PHP Overview ....

What is PHP?

• PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
• PHP is a server-side scripting language, like ASP
• PHP scripts are executed on the server
• PHP supports many databases (MySQL, Informix, Oracle, Sybase, Solid, PostgreSQL, Generic ODBC, etc.)
• PHP is an open source software
• PHP is free to download and use

Where to Start?

To get access to a web server with PHP support, you can:

• Install Apache (or IIS) on your own server, install PHP, and MySQL
• Or find a web hosting plan with PHP and MySQL support

Want to Learn PHP ? I would give details but first start with...

"http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_syntax.asp"

Then follow the Tutorial till you reach last chapter...

Best of Luck

Website Designing

I hope you have got a grasp on Client-Server Phenomena for our
Website Hosting.


We can Get a cool domain, from any of the web-hosting sites available on internet
by paying some $100 0r so... but...

Since , We are Newbies we would use a local (means not on Web) Web Server.

To Set up a Local Server is very Simple by following steps.

For Window Users; ( I suggest windows not Linux for website designing.)*
1.Download Xampp from the following link
"http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/"

2.Install It by Simple steps Shown in Setup.
(you may refer to "http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html"


3.Start the services Mysql , Apache
(if they are not started already)

4.Open your Web Browser , in Address Bar type " localhost" or 127.0.0.1

5.Select Language on the Xampp Web page and you have a virtual Web Server Ready.
