CIST 0272 - Server-side Programming Using PHP

3 Credit Hours

CGI Perl teaches CGI scripting techniques using the CGI Perl module. Students learn how to create on-demand, server-based HTML; write and process fill-out forms; write responses to form submissions back to the client browser; store and process cookies; handle file uploads securely; create, read, and write to text databases; attach JavaScript and cascading style sheets to created-on-demand web documents; and to maintain state through multi-page forms. Students also explore CGI Perl’s role in server push technology and continuous page updating (NPH). Students are not required to have previous Perl programming experience, although a thorough knowledge of HTML is necessary.

Pre-requisites: CIST 0137 - HTML Web Page Development.
