Server-side scripting for dynamic web sites.

Server-Side

Server-side scripting is the practice of writing scripts, in languages like PHP, to dynamically generate web pages, update files, process registrations, or other web site functions.

Why Does This Matter to Me?

Server-side scripting, as the name implies, runs on the web server. This allows the web site developer to develop scripts or programs that will execute before the content is delivered to your site visitor. Since the script or program is run on the web hosting server, clients using any web browser or operating system always get the same content and experience - the ability of the web site to work correctly is not dependent on the capabilities of the web site visitor's computer.
