PHP (which stands for "Pre-Hypertext Processor"), is an open-source web coding language built on C++ by Zend. It interacts with such database technologies as MySQL and MSSQL to fuel database-driven websites, and can perform a plethora of different operations such as date calculations, email handling, website statistics reporting, image creation, and even socket handling, which controls how information is sent and received through a computer's ports.
PHP is compatible with most server operating systems, but is best suited for use with the Apache server on the Linux operating system. AWS recommends the Apache/Linux/PHP combination, as it is the most secure and stable server setup on the Net today, and therefore is the most widely used.

ColdFusion
ColdFusion, developed by Macromedia, is used to build and serve web pages. It consists of ColdFusion Studio, which is used to create web pages, and ColdFusion Server, which is used to display the web pages.
For example, a variety of content can be placed within a database as 'pieces of content.' When a user types in the web address to retrieve the web page, ColdFusion dynamically develops the pages, from the 'pieces of content,' as they are served.
Although it is very reliable, ColdFusion may be better suited for larger companies rather than individuals, as it is fairly expensive.

Database Development
A database driven web site is one where the content of the various web pages is separated from its technical coded elements and stored in an organized system called a database.
The benefit of such a system is the separation of content from code. With a database driven website, non-technical people can easily update a website by interacting directly with the database via simple online forms. The programming logic behind the scenes takes care of merging the database content with the design of the website.
