asp.net is good, but you have to pay for components for additional functionality. Same functions available on PHP free of cost. Also you need Windows server to run ASP.NET properly. For servers, i like Linux/FreeBSD.

What is php???
PHP : PHP Hypertext Processor
What can PHP do?
Anything. PHP is mainly focused on server-side scripting,
There are three main fields where PHP scripts are used.
Server-side scripting :
This is the most traditional and main target field for PHP. You need three things to make this work. a webserver and a web browser. You need to run the webserver, with a connected PHP installation. You can access the PHP program output with a web browser, viewing the PHP page through the server.
Command line scripting :
You can make a PHP script to run it without any server or browser. You only need the PHP parser to use it this way. This type of usage is ideal for scripts regularly executed using cron (on *nix or Linux) or Task Scheduler (on Windows). These scripts can also be used for simple text processing tasks.
Writing client-side GUI applications :
PHP is probably not the very best language to write windowing applications, but if you know PHP very well, and would like to use some advanced PHP features in your client-side applications you can also use PHP-GTK to write such programs. You also have the ability to write cross-platform applications this way.
can any one can expand php and explain relationship between php and mysql
PHP stand for Personal Home Page creator, it was the name when PHP was first introduced, it allow webmasters to create form mail, guest book etc... easily.
MySQL is a fast database. So it got married with PHP. There is no other ralation. PHP support other databases, but PHP, MySQL combination is very popular.
My Dear friends as i explained above,
PHP is PHP Hypertext Processor
PHP is web scripting language.
PHP is mainly focused on server-side scripting and it is totally platform independent language.
Now we come to topic Relationship between php and MySql
As above mantion php is server side sctipting language ,
And MySql Server is for Database Operations.
In general use php uses MySql as it Database server, so in short MySql is nothing but only the database server application that can be used by php.
Its so simple to use MySql database in php page, as
Eg. the username and Password that we passed are being from php page
and it might be using MySql server.
thanks for the explanations, nokia sir and eli86.
I'm a newbie in Php programming. My problem is:Quote:

So is there any way to change district values without page refreshing.
Thanks in advance

Hi guys,
Does PHP supports the MVR model?
if yes, where can I find some info about that?
Thanks for the help,
presman
presman, what is MVR model? Which language use this ?
This was a typo.
I meant MVC Model-View-Controller
Thanks. :D
Zend framework have MVC
http://framework.zend.com
Or you can use PHP templating system like Smarty, this is a template engine, but can help to separate data and view.
http://smarty.php.net/
PHP very well supports MVC architecture.
you can use
Zend Framework or Cake PHP + Smarty
binujayaraj, have you tried any of these ? I tried Cake, but i drop it and continue with normal PHP coding, may be because not good with classes.
I used to follow conventional coding style and I am a newbie to frameworks and PHP frameworks in particular.
After looking at many I have currently settled on CakePHP (http://cakephp.org/).
Why?
1. It runs on PHP 4 and 5 (but my web host doesn't offer PHP 5 so I need 4 support)
2. I found it the easiest to understand and get working with
3. It has features like Ajax support built in that I needed
4. It has a fantastic developer community that will help you solve any problem that you hit. Ultimately this is worth its weight in gold.
CakePHP may not be the best framework out there (I have no idea as I haven't done a head to head test), but I can say that it works, and works well. My websites are easier to develop and easier to maintain.
In my opinion, if you need PHP 4 support, then CakePHP is worth a look.
