Kitchener Waterloo Internet Users Group

This month's meeting is about open source software.

PHP and MySQL provide a great combination for interactive websites. PHP also does a number of things using a server or standalone.

PHP can be used to publish PDF using free PDF libraries.

Sandy Hunter demonstrated two examples of combining open source software.

PHPNuke is a popular communication portal that involves the use of PHP coupled with the MySQL database server.

An instance of a PHPnuke was shown.

As an example of PHP used in conjunction with a web server and a free PDF library, a PDF publishing demonstration was shown.
