Click on the app icon: PHP apps at your service!

Although there may be a smidge of JavaScript lurking about here, most of the apps below are written in PHP. This means that the processing that makes them work is at the 'server' level, where this site is stored.

At the lab, we call this processing area the 'Cave of Wonders!'

The PHP genie does his magic at the server and delivers fresh HTML to the browser. Since the work is done away from the so-called 'client side' (where you are) there is a level of security that is offered by PHP apps that is not provided by JavaScript apps.

Sorry, it's impossible to see how these apps tick without the source code!!

PHP is not just used to create apps, however. It can manage a user's experience by offering levels of functionality based on user status. This is PHP in the fast lane.
