Connect PHP pages to MySQL for structured records, products, members, content and analytics.
See database solutions →Connected Systems
Connect a website to external services or data sources through APIs where appropriate.
See API integration →What can PHP do on a website?
PHP can process information on the server and generate dynamic pages. It is commonly used for forms, login systems, administration areas, database searches, directories, member features, calculators and other website functions that need more than static HTML.
PHP and MySQL
PHP can work with MySQL to create database-driven websites. Instead of hard-coding every record into a page, information can be stored, searched, updated and displayed dynamically according to the project requirements.
Custom scripts and automation
A custom script can be useful when a website has a repetitive task or a process that does not fit an off-the-shelf feature. Examples include data imports, calculations, reporting, custom forms, business rules and administration tools.
Examples of PHP functionality
- Contact and enquiry processing
- Member registration and account areas
- Business directories and searchable listings
- Admin dashboards and management tools
