PHP/MySQL

With increased use of the internet, dynamic database-driven websites have become an indispensable part of competing online; today, adding PHP/MYSQL functionality is highly preferred. They work well together to allow for websites that are replete with features and varied functionality. These open source technologies are widely used, even in Web apps. PHP is a server-side scripting language, which when combined with MySQL, a database management system, results in the ability to save data without giving up on any of your business requirements. Recognize the power of PHP and MySQL -- and its potential.

Powering nearly 70% of websites, PHP has emerged as the most preferred and widely used server-side language, which is pertinent for sites containing a lot of dynamic content like blogs, forums and shopping carts. The millions of sites empowered by PHP are the testament to its growing popularity. To enable you to achieve maximum results, ARC Web Development makes use of Cake PHP, an open-source web framework that follows the model-view-controller (MVC) approach. PHP/MySQL Development empowers websites to tackle data in very precise and systematic manner -- to develop innovative functional websites.

Sometimes it is necessary to seperate static information that is presented in the View from dynamic information coming from the database. Cake PHP is intended to make developing/maintaining data easier. It is based on MVC (Models, Views, and Controllers), where there is a separation of business logic from data and presentation.
