Web Application Server Software • ColdFusion • PHP • ASP • All of the are server-side scripting languages that embed code in HTML pages
ColdFusion • Developing WWW sites typically involved a lot of programming to build dynamic sites • e.g. Pages generated as a result of catalog searches, etc. • ColdFusion was designed to permit the construction of dynamic web sites with only minor extensions to HTML through a DBMS interface
ColdFusion • Started as CGI • Drawback, as previously discussed, is that the entire system is run for each cgi invocation • Split into cooperating components • Windows service -- runs constantly • Server modules for 4 main Web Server API (glue that binds web server to ColdFusion service) {Apache, ISAPI, NSAPI, WSAPI} • Special CGI scripts for other servers
What ColdFusion is Good for • Putting up databases onto the Web • Handling dynamic databases (Frequent updates, etc) • Making databases searchable and updateable by users.
Requirements • Unix or Windows systems • Install as SuperUser • Databases must be defined via “data source names (DSNs) by administrator
Requirements and Set Up • Field names should be devoid of spaces. Use the underscore character, like new_items instead of "new items." • Use key fields. Greatly reduces search time. • Check permissions on the individual tables in your database and make sure that they have read-access for the username your Web server uses to log in. • If your fields include large blocks of text, you'll want to include basic HTML coding within the text itself, including boldface, italics, and paragraph markers.
Templates • Assume we have a database named contents_of_my_shopping_cart.mdb -- single table called contents... • Create an HTML page (uses extension .cfm), and before <HEAD>...
Templates cont. <CFQUERY NAME= ”cart" DATASOURCE=“contents_of_my_shopping_cart"> SELECT * FROM contents ; </CFQUERY> <HEAD> <TITLE>Contents of My Shopping Cart</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H1>Contents of My Shopping Cart</H1> <CFOUTPUT QUERY= ”cart"> <B>#Item#</B><BR> #Date_of_item# <BR> $#Price# <P> </CFOUTPUT> </BODY> </HTML>
Templates cont. Contents of My Shopping Cart Bouncy Ball with Psychedelic Markings 12 December 1998 $0.25 Shiny Blue Widget 14 December 1998 $2.53 Large Orange Widget 14 December 1998 $3.75
CFIF and CFELSE <CFOUTPUT QUERY= ”cart"> Item: #Item# <BR> <CFIF #Picture# EQ""> <IMG SRC=“generic_picture.jpg"> <BR> <CFELSE> <IMG SRC="#Picture#"> <BR> </CFIF> </CFOUTPUT>
More Templates <CFQUERY DATASOURCE = “AZ2”> INSERT INTO Employees(firstname, lastname, phoneext) VALUES(‘#firstname#’, ‘#lastname#’, ‘#phoneext#’) </CFQUERY> <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Employee Added</TITLE> <BODY><H1>Employee Added</H1> <CFOUTPUT> Employee <B>#firstname# #lastname#</B> added. </CFOUTPUT></BODY> </HTML>
CFML ColdFusion Markup Language • Read data from and update data to databases and tables • Create dynamic data-driven pages • Perform conditional processing • Populate forms with live data • Process form submissions • Generate and retrieve email messages • Perform HTTP and FTP function • Perform credit card verification and authorization • Read and write client-side cookies

PHP • PHP is an Open Source Software project with many programmers working on the code. • Commonly paired with MySQL, another OSS project • Free • Both Windows and Unix support • Estimated that more than 250,000 web sites use PHP as an Apache Module.
PHP Syntax • Similar to “C” or Java (note lines end with “;”) • Includes most programming structures (Loops, functions, Arrays, etc.) • Loads HTML form variables so that they are addressable by name • <HTML><BODY> • <?php • $myvar = “Hello World”; • echo $myvar ; • ?> • </BODY></HTML>
Combined with MySQL • DBMS interface appears as a set of functions: <HTML><BODY> <?php mysql_connect(“localhost”, “usename”, “password”); mysql_select_db(“mydb”); $result = mysql_query(“SELECT * FROM employees”); while ($r = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC)) { printf("<center><H2>%s",$r[”LAST_NAME"]); printf(”, %s</H2></center> ",$r[”FIRST_NAME"]); } ?></BODY></HTML>

ASP – Active Server Pages • Another server-side scripting language • From Microsoft using Visual Basic as the Language model (VBScript), though Javascript (actually MS Jscript) is also supported • Works with Microsoft IIS and gives access to ODBC databases • Most commonly used for Access or MS SQL Server
ASP Syntax <% SQL="SELECT last, first FROM employees ORDER BY last" set conn = server.createobject("ADODB.Connection") conn.open “employee" set people=conn.execute(SQL) %> <% do while not people.eof set resultline=people(0) & “, “ & people(1) & “<BR>” Response.Write(resultline) people.movenext loop%> <% people.close %>

SELECT • Syntax: • SELECT [DISTINCT] attr1, attr2,…, attr3 as label, function(xxx), calculation, attr5, attr6 FROM relname1 r1, relname2 r2,… rel3 r3 WHERE condition1 {AND | OR} condition2 ORDER BY attr1 [DESC], attr3 [DESC]
SELECT Conditions • = equal to a particular value • >= greater than or equal to a particular value • > greater than a particular value • <= less than or equal to a particular value • <> or != not equal to a particular value • LIKE‘%wom_n%’ (Note different wild card from Access) • opt1 SOUNDS LIKE opt2 • IN (‘opt1’, ‘opt2’,…,’optn’) • BETWEEN opt1 AND opt2 • IS NULL or IS NOT NULL
