Hello, I am Joe. I was sent to this site by a friend who said that frihost was a good hosting solution for people that would like to make there own website without the ties and bounds of traditional servers such as 1and1. I have a few questions about PHP:

1: what does it stand for:

a: Personalized Homepage Script

b: Hypertext Preprocessor

2: how do you download a whole mysql database at once through a PHP script

Hey Joe,

I'm Nick, nice to see some inquisitive people here on FRIHOST.

Now to answer your questions
Quote:

1: what does it stand for:

a: Personalized Homepage Script

b: Hypertext Preprocessor


PHP Stands for PreHypertext Processor, PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.

PHP calls upon the tables in the database, usually through an SQL command or a string and then the database outputs the query, by selecting all the information with the keywords of the query.
It is quite fantastic how this works

If you would like to know more here are some links:
http://www.php.net/
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP
www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp - this is the best for newbies and people starting to learn php

But by far the best is the tutorials placed on the Zend website, these guys invented the php script, so they are the most trusted source for PHP tutorials if you are serious about learning PHP fluently and quickly.
Here's the link http://devzone.zend.com/manual.

Hope this helps and if you have any questions feel free to ask them on the Freelance CMS chat rooms

Kind Regards,
Nick
