Introduction to creating dynamic pages

Dynamic pages are those that present content that changes according to user interaction. These pages are created using web programming languages ​​such as PHP and JavaScript.

To create dynamic pages, it is necessary to have basic knowledge of programming and web languages. It is also important to have a web server to host the page and a database to store information.

Web programming languages

PHP is one of the most used languages ​​to create dynamic pages. It is a server-side programming language, that is, it runs on the server before sending the page to the user's browser. With PHP, you can create forms, send emails, access databases, and much more.

JavaScript, in turn, is a client-side programming language, that is, it runs in the user's browser. With JavaScript, you can create animations, validate forms, make asynchronous requests, and much more.

Web server

A web server is software that receives requests from browsers and sends the corresponding web pages. There are several web servers available such as Apache, Nginx and IIS.

To create a local web server, you can use software such as XAMPP and WAMP, which install Apache, PHP and MySQL in a single package.

Database

A database is software that stores information in tables. To create dynamic pages that access information stored in databases, it is necessary to have basic knowledge of SQL, the language used to query the database.

There are several databases available, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite. It is important to choose a database that meets the needs of the project.

Conclusion

The creation of dynamic pages is an important skill for anyone who wants to work with web development. With basic knowledge of programming, web languages, web servers and databases, it is possible to create dynamic pages that offer an interactive and personalized experience for users.
