PHP What is PHP? PHP is a web scripting language that allows you to enhance your website by adding logic, MySQL database connectivity or dynamic content. PHP-enabled web pages are treated just like regular HTML pages and you can create and edit them the same way you normally create regular HTML pages. We only offer the lastest version, PHP 4. What version of PHP are you running? We are running PHP 4 What extension should use for the PHP files? You may use either .php or .php4. Do I need to set any special file permissions? No, PHP scripts run as the username of the account owner, so no special file permission settings need to be set. Using PHP with MySQL Make sure you use the mysql_close() function after you've opened a mysql database connection, and have performed your query. The mysql_close() function must be used in php scripts to ensure all database connections close properly. Failure to do so may result in script failure as all available database connections will be exhausted.
