Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) is a programming language widely
used in designing web applications. It is an open-source, server-side HTML
embedded scripting language used by programmers to create dynamic Web pages.
PHP has syntax similar to C or Perl; it is embedded on the server side of the
HTML forms through the use of tags. PHP's strengths lie in its compatibility
with a wide range of databases. It can be used for server-side scripting,
command line scripting, and developing desktop applications.
Advantages of PHP Development:

2. Petersburgscouting.com
Works on LAMP (software bundle), which is an open source web
platform consisting of Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP that runs dynamically on
Web sites or servers.
We have carried out the following customizations to the Dolphin Smart Community
Builder application to meet our client's specific needs:
-
Registration page
Allowed new sections to be added to the registration page. The new sections are
Admin controlled.
-
Conditional sectioning
New sections created by the admin for the registration page would appear only
if they match the conditions set by the user. For e.g. Admin creates a new
profile field called "Political affiliation", Admin could then create sections
tied to that question. If some selects "democrats", then that user will see
questions like:
What is more important?
-
The environment
-
Universal healthcare
-
Getting the Bush Administration out of office
-
Member linking
This is a lot like the friends list, but it's a special dedication to someone
who may be a brother or wife, who is on the same site. The "Member" link was
added to every user's profile, which contained the link to another user on the
website.

4. Mortgage processing GFE calculation:
"The Good faith estimate program was created for calculating the
settlement closing costs" (GFE). It provides all required Real Estate
Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) information that is required for disclosure.
The program is being used by real estate professionals and consumers to
estimate total funds needed to buy residential real estate at a given price,
interest rate, and term.
The program also calculated the total monthly payment regarding principal,
interest, taxes, Insurance (PITI). This tool was developed and installed as an
online GFE calculator, where the users will supply the website with information
such as sale price, term, down payment, interest rate, taxes, insurance and
days of interest.
The GFE calculator generates the GFE in a downloadable PDF format which the
users can save on their computer.
We developed a LAMP (software bundle), which is an open source

on Web sites or servers.

Autographstore.com is the ultimate destination for authentic
celebrity autographed collectibles and signed memorabilia. Autographstore.com
is one of the most recognized names in the collectibles and autographed
memorabilia industry.
Celebrity autographed collectibles and signed memorabilia are
auctioned on the website using a PHP/MySQL based application that was
customized by X-Wire.
X-Wire has provided the following modules for AutoGraphStore.com:
-
Billing System
X-Wire designed and developed a custom billing system that allows all high
bidders' items to be combined together and includes an area where they can add
and adjust the shipping costs based on domestic and international shipping
fees, and combines all winnings from customers. This billing system was done
just like the eBay billing system and was linked up with Pay Pal payment
gateway.
The billing system was semi-automatic, meaning that automatically the system
groups all winning bidders' items together and then the Administrator can add
the correct shipping fee and click on a button that will automatically send the
winning bidder all of the necessary information by email about the items that
they had won. The email shows the price for each item, the sub-total, the
shipping charges, the total, as well as payment instructions, and provides a
link in each email that will bring the customer to Pay Pal to enable them to
pay Autograph Store using their paypal account.
-
Mod Re-Write
The individual URLs that the site originally showed for an auction item was
https://www.autographstore.com/auction/browse.php?id=65502.
In a mod-rewrite we changed the URL to read as
http://www.autographstore.com/auction/female-celebrtiy-autograph.htm but
still pointed it to the same browse.php?id=65502 internally. The purpose of
this was to optimize the website and to make it search engine friendly.

to
http://www.templates247.com/previews/562/t562.html
