Client Interaction

These tutorials are about PHP and its use for server-side Web programming.

This tutorial has four (4) sub-sections.

Reading and writing from the network

PHP is capable of working with many data sources, but in order to get immediate feeback, the best place to start is with its interaction with the Web server itself and the Web documents it prepares for and recieves back from transmission with the client. In other words th ebest place to start is with writing documents straight to the browser and reading information back from the browser.

This section looks at the following topics:

  • Writing information out to Web pages for immediate transmission to the client.
  • Reading forms and other data sent back from the client.
  • The global arrays that store the system and environmental variables and how to use them in short form and long form.
  • Some important information on encoding special characters in URLs.
