At the most basic level, PHP can do anything any other CGI program can
|
|
do, such as collect form data, generate dynamic page content, or send
|
|
and receive cookies.
|
|
|
|
PHP also has support for talking to other services using protocols
|
|
such as IMAP, SNMP, NNTP, POP3, or even HTTP. You can also open raw
|
|
network sockets and interact using other protocols.
|
|
|
|
