As a freelance programmer, I have built quite a few web applications over the years, some pretty and some not-so-pretty. Before I got involved in PHP, I had worked mostly in Java, with its rigid and forced programming style. With PHP, of course, it`s easy to get lazy and write sloppy code, and PHP will always perform well no matter what. Recently, however, I took over maintenance of a web application which set new lows for maintainability, quality, and structure. As I set about cleaning up this application, I took a few notes on what its most glaring problems were, and have devised a little quiz for you to take...

One of the great `secrets` of almost all websites (aside from those that publish static .html pages) is that behind the scenes, the webserver is actually just one part of a two or three tiered application server system. In the open source world, this explains the tremendous popularity of the Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP (LAMP) environment. LAMP provides developers with a traditional two tiered application development platform. There is a database, and a `smart` webserver able to communicate with the database. Clients only talk to the webserver, while the webserver transparently talks to the database when required. The following diagram illustrates how a typical LAMP server works...

Email accounts can be a useful tool for enabling people to enact a request or issue a command that may not require the intervention of humans.
