What can PHP do

Server-side scripting (collect form data,
generate dynamic page content,
send&receive cookies).
Command line script (can run from cmd
line & used for backup & logparsing).
Create a desktop application with a
graphical user interface (PHP-GTK, an
extension of PHP).
Features of PHP
Speed
Full database Support
Open source and free to download and
use.
Cross platform
Easy for newcomer and advance features
Cont

Freedom to choose any operating system
and a web server.
Not constrained to output only HTML. PHP's
abilities include outputting images, PDF files
etc.
Support for a wide range of databases. Eg:
dBase, MySQL, Oracle etc.
Support for talking to other services using
protocols such as IMAP, POP3, HTTP.
PHP includes free and open source libraries
with the core build.
Working of PHP
URL is typed in the browser.

The browser sends a request to the web server.
The web server then calls the PHP script on that
page.
The PHP module executes the script, which then
sends out the result in the form of HTML back to
the browser, which can be seen on the screen.

while - loops through a block of code while the condition is
true.
do...while - loops through a block of code once, and then
repeats the loop as long as a specified condition is true.
