Summary
Introducing PHP & MySQL
The most appealing modern websites provide a customized user experience by dynamically responding to some current conditions â user name, time of day, latest blog, shopping cart contents, etc. Many of these dynamic websites are created with PHP and MySQL.
What is PHP?
PHP is a widely-used general purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development, and can be embedded into HTML. It was created by programmer Rasmus Lerdorf as a set of scripts to maintain his website that he released as âPersonal Home Page Tools (PHP Tools) version 1.0â on June 8, 1995. These were extended in the version 2 release of 1997, and the name changed to become a recursive acronym âPHP: Hypertext Preprocessorâ in version 3 the following year. Performance, reliability, and extensibility were improved in 2000 with the release of PHP4, which was powered by the new Zend engine â a virtual machine.

What is MySQL?
MySQL is the worldâs most popular database software. It is used to manage stored data and is described as DataBase Management Software (DBMS) or Relational DataBase Management Software (RDBMS). MySQL was created by Michael Wildenius and David Axmark back in 1995. Its name (âMy-S-Q-Lâ officially, but often pronounced âMy Sequelâ) is a combination of Michaelâs daughterâs name âMyâ and the term âSQLâ (Structured Query Language). MySQL was originally produced by the company MySQL AB, founded by its creators, which was acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2008, and subsequently by Oracle in 2010. The current version, MySQL 8.0, is powered by the InnoDB storage engine, and the MySQL Community Server edition is available as free software. Today, MySQL is used on some of the most frequently visited websites, including Google, Wikipedia, Facebo...
