What four components are needed to create a fully dynamic web page?
|
The four components required to create a fully dynamic web page are a web server
(such as Apache), a server-side scripting language (PHP), a database (MySQL), and a client-side scripting language (JavaScript). |
|
|
Why does the name MySQL contain the letters SQL?
|
Like nearly all database engines, MySQL accepts commands in Structured Query
Language (SQL). SQL is the way that every user (including a PHP program) communicates with MySQL. |
|
|
PHP and JavaScript are both programming languages that generate dynamic results
for web pages. What is their main difference, and why would you use both of them? |
PHP runs on the server, whereas JavaScript runs on the client. PHP can communicate
with the database to store and retrieve data, but it can’t alter the user’s web page quickly and dynamically. JavaScript has the opposite benefits and drawbacks. |

If you encounter a bug (which is rare) in one of the open source tools, how do you
think you could get it fixed? |
Some open source technologies are maintained by companies that accept bug reports
and fix the errors like any software company. But open source software also depends on a community, so your bug report may be handled by any user who understands the code well enough. You may someday fix bugs in an open source tool yourself. |
