PHP

From WWR

Jump to: navigation, search

PHP is a scripted programming language that is used to create websites. Short for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" (the initials actually come from the earliest version of the program, which was called "Personal Home Page Tools," but in their current form, constitute a recursive acronym), it is an open-source, reflective programming language used mainly for developing server-side applications and dynamic web content, and more recently, a broader range of software applications.

PHP allows interaction with a large number of relational database management systems, such as MySQL, Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL and SQLite. PHP runs on most major operating systems, including Unix, Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X, and can interact with many major web servers. The official PHP website contains very extensive documentation.

PHP and WWR

The entire WWR system, both Jasper (the program that runs on the WWR computer in Talkeetna and controls the stream and EJs) and the website are written in PHP. It's all custom code written by Jimbob. Until the advent of this wiki that is.
