PHP/MySQL Open Source Databases and Resources

Open Source Packages

• WordPress
  Good for single-user blogging or web site creation. The basic package does not require programming or html skills to create and maintain a functioning site, and there are hundreds of free templates available.
• Drupal
  Good for interactive web sites, where many users may post content. Lots of add-ons and themes available, but requires much more time and skill to administer than a WordPress site.
• CiviCRM relationship management solution
  An open source system designed especially for nonprofits, to aid in contact management and development campaigns. Due to the importance of the information it tracks, an organization should have at least one staff person dedicated to configuring and maintaining the system, and others able to do at least basic maintenance and back-ups.

Leaning PHP and MySQL

• w3schools.com
  Provides basic information and quick references. Other sections of the site include information on HTML, CSS, Javascript and MySQL.
• php.net
  Tutorials and online manual. The comments in each section frequently include code snippets contributed by users (which may or may not be useful).
• MAMP
  MAMP stands for “Macintosh, Apache, Mysql and PHP.” This website offers a free download of the open source MAMP package, which allows Mac users to set up a local server environment on their computer and test their PHP/MySQL applications.
