Writing for the Web: A Primer for Librarians

Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP)

   PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a tool that creates dynamic Web pages. PHP-enabled Web pages are like regular HTML pages in that they can be created and edited in the same way as regular HTML pages. Assuming a server has PHP installed and configured so files ending in .php3 are handled by PHP, understanding the language is the only challenge. Once created, place the .php3 files in any Web directory and the server will take care of them.
