You could manually code large chunks of the site every
day, but a far easier solution is to use PHP, the PHP
Hypertext Preprocessor, to easily create and maintain lively,
interactive sites that people will want to visit regularly.
Some 20 million domains use PHP to generate their sites,
and the number increases nearly every month.
In Chapter 14, ???Creating Basic Websites,??? you created a basic
static website with tools included in openSUSE Linux. In this
chapter, you??™ll learn how to use PHP to make that site more
interactive and appealing. You??™ll use the PHP-based Drupal
framework to ease the process of building your site. Then
you??™ll let your users talk among themselves with a forum.
Using PHP
PHP is the result of another lazy programmer??™s effort to
simplify his life. Back in 1994, Rasmus Lerdorf wanted to
eliminate some of the drudgery associated with updating
his personal web page. Lerdorf wrote some Perl scripts to
generate HTML tags based on some C code. In June 1995,
he announced the existence of the Personal Home Page
(PHP) tools, version 1.
