    Hi everybody,

    I'm currently studying for a HND in Interactive Media Design and our current assignment is a Self Managed Learning Plan based on a technology/language of our choosing.

    For my SMLP I have chosen to learn about the application of PHP within the Interactive Media/WebDesign industry.

    As there are many different uses of PHP, I'm keen to learn the more commonly used functions used by professional web designers/developers.

    Please post below your most common uses for PHP.

    Many thanks in advance,

    Ian

    • Forums
    • shopping carts (e-commerce websites)
    • content management systems
    Those are three that come straight to mind. I think the final list will be massive, but those are probably the biggest

    better you discover what can you develop with it because developing same thing won't do anything great.

    Hi guys,

    Thank you for your replies so far :)

    The first part of my SMLP is to research the uses of PHP & MySQL and write a 1000 word essay to show my findings.

    The second part is to design and build a website on any subject so long as it utilises PHP. I've chosen to build a website for my band and will be uploading the final product by the end of next week.

    I was thinking of using PHP to create a eMailing list that users can sign up for to get news on the band but would also like to include something a little more dynamic. Any suggestions gratefully recieved :)
