Ext2: Perl versus PHP for Web Design - Part 2: Database Integration Jun 22, 1999, 01 :02 UTC (5 Talkback[s]) (5699 reads) (Other stories by Patrick Lambert)
"Last week I gave a general overview of both Perl and PHP, with their
features, what they can do and what they are good for. Now, we will look at
database integration in web design.
"Why is database integration important? Simply because managing any site
which provides content on the web can become complex in a far less amount
of time that you may imagine. And since users browsing the web expect
content or services from web sites, database integration is necessary.
"Connecting a database to a web site can be expensive and time-consuming
if the wrong tools are used. Fortunately, with languages specialized in
text processing and web integration like Perl and PHP, things can get
really simple."
