MySQL Hosting

Hosting With MySQL and PHP

PHP is used to place instructions into the pages of a website. When a visitor accesses your website, PHP-enabled web server software (like Apache in a LAMP stack) executes these instructions behind the scenes to retrieve information from a database to be displayed on the page. In this example, MySQL is the database that stores and organizes this large amount of information to be accessed by PHP’s instructions.

Example: Let’s say you would like to create a poetry website. Hosting with MySQL and PHP will save you time because you would only need to add all your poems to your MySQL database once and write one PHP file that could be used to locate any poem in your database and display it on your site. This is opposed to writing an HTML file for EVERY poem you want displayed on your site. This example is extremely simplified, but illustrates how MySQL’s and PHP’s relationship can create powerful dynamic websites.
