PHP in Fusion -- Accessing your database
PHP is a powerful scripting language that allows you to create pages that are interpreted by a web hosting server BEFORE the page's HTML is generated. The server evaluates the PHP code, then based on the results, generates an HTML page for the viewer. This allows one page to be used and viewed differently based on the valued of the PHP code, or a "dynamic" web page. PHP is often used to front end databases (particularly popular is to use PHP to access a MySQL database).
