Introduction to Tools

Front End Tool:

PHP

PHP is a general-purpose scripting language originally designs for web

development to produce Dynamic Web pages. For this purpose, PHP code is
embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a
PHP processor module, which generates the web page document.

PHP originally stands for Personal Home Page but, nowadays it stands for
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. It is a server-side scripting language commonly
used for developing dynamic website.

PHP was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf (apache team member) in

1995. He developed one cgi-wrapper application for tracking people who visit his
personal site. After that, demand for PHP raises a lot and he put Personal Home
page tools for world. After some year the name PHP became very popular and
being used by many web developer.

PHP is very efficient scripting language which is embedded with HTML,

JavaScript for developing web sites for database. Dynamic side with some data
handling capabilities is essence of PHP.

Why PHP?

PHP is very easy to learn, compare to the other ways to achieve similar
functionality. It comprises of syntax of c, c++, java and Perl script which are easily
adaptable. Unlike, JSP or C based CGI; PHP doesnt require gaining deep
understanding of a major programming language.

PHP has a syntax that is quite easy to parse and human friendly.

Over the past years, the internet has gone from the preserve of academics to
the cutting edge of business. A large part of this has been driven the growth of the
web, with its graphical browser and high media profile. The change from static
HTML pages to dynamic, user interactive presentations has been achieved largely
by the introduction of scripting technologies.

Working with the usual markup language of a web page, scripting language
enable clients to demand specific information from their servers, in turn to receive
important user input in order to process and display data on demand.

In the forefront of this advancement has been the open source community,
dedicated in providing web based solutions purely for the love of the technology
itself. Open source is not about free software, but it is about, as the name suggest,
being open about the source of the code.

Having free access to the source means that authors are forced to keep to
standards. If these are not maintained, deviation is labeled a bug, and if the author
doesnt fix it, someone else will. Large numbers of independent programmers being
able to understand what a program does, and ensuring that standards are
maintained, prevents the author from being able to exploit the user, as happens in
the commercial software world.

The World Wide Web has changed very fast in so many ways. It was
wondrous to read some text wherever in the world with just a simple program and
what is more information in the document could magically transport you to another
one with related information.

A modern website is not just a web server, it is also includes a way of storing
data querying a way of processing the requests from the user and creating
documents with the appropriate information. Many are the options open to the web
developer, but not all of them as open and general as others. We should not only
consider the immediate task at hand of crating a site dynamic content, we need to
be sure that we can still be provided the said content independently of the changes
in hardware or software technology

Back End Tool:

MYSQL

MYSQL is the most popular Open Source SQL database management system
is developed, distributed and supported by MYSQLAB. MYSQLAB is a commercial
company, founded by the MySQL developers, that builds its business by providing
services around the MySQL database management System.

MYSQL is database management system. A database is a structured collection of

data. It may be anything from a simple shopping list to a picture gallery or vast
amounts of information in the corporate network. To add, access and process data
stored in a computer database, you need a database management system such as
MYSQL server. Since computers are very good at handling large amounts of data,
database management system play a central role in computing, as stand-alone
utilities or as parts of other application.

A relational database stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the
data in one big store room. This adds speed and flexibility. The SQL part of MYSQL
stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is the most common standardized
language used to access databases and is defined by the ANSI/ISO SQL Standard.

MYSQL software is Open Source. It means is possible for anyone to use and
modify the software. Anybody can download the MYSQL software users that GPL
(GNU General Public License), to define what you may and may not do with the
software in different situation. If you feel uncomfortable with the GPL or need to
embed MYSQL code into a commercial application.

Why Use The MYSQL Database Server:

The MYSQL database server is very fast, reliable and easy to use. If that is
what you are looking for, you should give it a try. MYSQL server also has a practical
set features developed in close co-operation with users. You can find a performance
comparison of MYSQL was originally developed to handle large database mush
faster than existing solutions and has been successfully use in highly demanding
production environments for several years. Though under constant development,
MYSQL server today offer a rich and useful set of functions. Its connectivity, speed,
and security make MYSQL server highly suited for accessing database on the
internet.

The Technical Features OF MYSQL:

The MYSQL database software is client/server system that consists of a

multi-threaded SQL server that supports different back ends, several different
client programs and libraries, administrative tools, and a wide range of application
programming interface (APIs).

We also provide MYSQL server as multi-threaded library which you can link
into your application to get a smaller, faster, easier-to-manage products.

There is large amount of contributed MYSQL software available. It is very

likely that you will find that your favorite application or language already
supports the MYSQL database server

Introduction to Framework

CakePHP:
The CakePHP framework provides a robust base for your application. It can
handle every aspect, from the users initial request all the way to the final
rendering of a web page. And since the framework follows the principles of
MVC, it allows you to easily customize and extend most aspects of your
application. The framework also provides a basic organizational structure, from
filenames to database table names, keeping your entire application consistent
and logical. This concept is simple but powerful. Follow the conventions and
youll always know exactly where things are and how theyre organized.

Understanding OF Model View & Controller:

CakePHP follows the MVC36 software design pattern. Programming using MVC
separates your application into three main parts:

Model:
The Model layer The Model layer represents the part of your application that
implements the business logic. It is responsible for retrieving data and
converting it into meaningful concepts for your application. This includes
processing, validating, associating or other tasks related to handling data.

View:
The View layer The View renders a presentation of modeled data. Being
separated from the Model objects, it is responsible for using the information it
has available to produce any presentational interface your application might
need. For example, as the Model layer returns a set of data, the view would use
it to render a HTML page containing it, or a XML formatted result for others to
consume.

Controller:
The Controller layer The Controller layer handles requests from users. It is
responsible for rendering a response with the aid of both the Model and the
View layer. A controller can be seen as a manager that ensures that all resources
needed for completing a task are delegated to the correct workers. It waits for
petitions from clients, checks their validity according to authentication or
authorization rules, delegates data fetching or processing to the model, selects
the type of presentational data that the clients are accepting, and finally
delegates the rendering process to the View layer.
