MEDIACOM PHP MySQL
Development
MySQL is currently the most popular open source database server in
existence. On top of that, it is very commonly used in conjunction with
PHP scripts to create powerful and dynamic server-side applications.
An Application Programming Interface, or API, defines the classes,
methods, functions and variables that your application will need to call
in order to carry out its desired task. In the case of PHP applications
that need to communicate with databases the necessary APIs are usually
exposed via PHP extensions.
APIs can be procedural or object-oriented. With a procedural API you
call functions to carry out tasks, with the object-oriented API you
instantiate classes and then call methods on the resulting objects. Of
the two the latter is usually the preferred interface, as it is more
modern and leads to better organized code.
