Working with Dreamweaver MX for PHP Development
PHP has taken the Web by storm. It's a lightweight language with powerful, built-in features that allow developers to create complex sites fast. PHP is usually mentioned in the same breath with MySQL, a popular open-source software. The two technologies work well together, hence their popularity.
In this chapter, I'll cover PHP basics, such as variables, arrays, and control structures, and then touch on more advanced topics, such as functions and working with MySQL. Then I'll cover the use of Dreamweaver MX to make your coding more productive.
