Using PostgreSQL with PHP | Part II: Programming with PostgreSQL

PHP is a general-purpose programming language, but PHP is most commonly used to build dynamic web pages. A dynamic web page is a document that is regenerated each time it is displayed. For example, each time you point your web browser to cnn.com, you see the latest news. PHP is useful for building dynamic web pages because you can embed PHP programs within HTML documents. In fact, you can produce HTML documents from a PHP script.
