PHP

PHP is a popular general purpose scripting language well suited to web development. On a web server, PHP code is first interpreted with a PHP processor module which then generates the resulting HTML code. PHP is free software released under the PHP License.

Module two had a total of five assignments, "Eli, the computer guy" was one of them, Eli is an IT practitioner. His tutorials consisted of six video tutorials over PHP, he touched base on the basics of PHP as well as how it can interact with a web server. The tutorials were very informative and helped me understand PHP in an easily manner rather than reading the textbook (which was also an assignment for this module).

In the example below, we used a CSV file (stands for comma separated value) to sort the data that is being received and eventually opening the data in an external program such as Excel. This tool can come in handy in multiple situations, especially in the professional world when it is needed to collect all of the email addresses that have been ascribed to. Below you can see a working example of Eli's PHP application that requests the user's email address and links it to it to a file that may be used with excel.
