php, as u must be knowing is a webscripting language like java or asp,
the catch is u dont need any extra software to run php scripts on ur
system unlike java which requires some kind of software which in this
case is JVM or Java Virtual Machine. View the source of a php page from
ur browser and u will find only html tags! this is bcause php embeds
within html. All this is done on the Server itself, unlike in java where
the actual interpretation occurs on the client i.e. the users' system.
Now mambo uses php because of its close association with MySQL and they
are quite good chums. Suppose u were to submit some form information in
mambo. what it actually does is get ur form data, create approriate
tables in MySQL database. also when u register in a mambo based site it
creates tables for the approriate fields like passwords, address. etc.
