Create a dynamic site with PHP

PHP is the most widely using programming language for web development in the world. The most dynamic and responsive sites use PHP. Blogs, personal homepages, forums, web analytics tools, information forms, email sending, online shops... all are developed in PHP.

PHP is the reference!

Create a fully customised site

PHP is widely documented, easy to use and free, and will enable you to generate dynamic pages in just a few lines of code.
Using the templates, you can design personalised pages and put them online very easily.

Create your online store

Use PHP scripts to retrieve, update and edit all items from your shop that are registered in your database.

Bring your forum to life

Create a forum easily with all the services necessary for your community, such as managing RSS feeds in order to track and record exchanges and posts.

Perform operations with accurate time

Send customised forms automatically plus classify and analyse information. Use the current time and date to timestamp pages and comments.

Example:
Using today's date...
                        <?php
                            $cejour = date('d');
                            echo 'Aujourd\'hui, nous sommes le : ' . $cejour;
                        ?>
                

Send emails from your site

Use the mail function...

Example:
Send an email that will not be considered as spam
                        <?php
                            $headers ='From: mon_adresse@votredomaine.com'."\n";
                            $headers .='Reply-To: adresse@votredomaine.com'."\n";
                            $headers .='Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"'."\n";
                            $headers .='Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit';
                            mail('adresseemaildedestination@domaine.com', 'Sujet', 
                            'Message contenu de l email', $headers); 
                        ?>
