PHP is a programming language, and it's much more too. It's a language that's designed for use with dynamic web pages - which means that you can put together interactive web sites much more quickly and easily than you could do using other systems.

At Well House Consultants, we run a series of public courses on PHP.
• Our 1 day Technology for PHP gives a flavour of the underlying and associated tehnologies such as HTML, web site structure, programming and SQL. If you know what those are already, come on ...
• The 4 day PHP Programming course which covers the PHP language itself, how it is integrated with the web page, and other important subjects such as good application design and user data security and integrity in multipage applications.
• If you're going to be using Object Oriented PHP, our 1 day Object Orientation in PHP course will teach you the basics of OO, and go into some detail as to how OO is iplemented and used in PHP.

If you've a group of three or more delegates who wish to learn PHP at the same time, a Specially Run Courses course can be arranged, and for larger groups we can also run a Private Courses course at your offices. Such courses are tailored to meet your requirements - please contact us to discuss the detail of what you need.

This web site that you're on at the moment makes heavy use of PHP. Even though many of the pages have .html extensions, we're using PHP to make subtle changes like the number you need to dial to reach us from your country (based on IP address), and also to provide more major resources such as the Wiki and the online booking system. Our search engine and "page not found" handlers are also implemented in PHP, and even our filters that protect against denial of service attacks use it.

PHP was written originally by Rasmus Lerdorf. There's a big team now - official resources [Here]
