Server-Side Technologies (Week 4)

Today I learned about the server side technology. In order to build a website we need a web server. There are two popular web servers: Apache and Internet Information Server (IIS).

Moreover, we also need an application server. There are some popular application servers: PHP, Java Server Pages, and Active Server Pages.

We practiced the php date syntax today. Our task was to change the date format from "23 03 2010 19:22:12" to "Tuesday 23rd of March 2010 07:22:12 PM", and the result could be seen in this link.
