PHP is a versatile open source scripting language capable of turning a beautiful piece of Flash art into a useful, dynamic creation - bringing serious power to the design back-end. As an ingredient to a website, PHP can help a designer develop the functional potential of their work and set them above the growing multitude of motion graphics artists. Written with the advanced Flash designer in mind, this Foundation offers a thorough tutorial which will build the designer's PHP skills from nothing to the point where they are confidently able to use the language in conjunction with Flash - processing, storing and creating new data, or working as a bridge between the Flash movie and external data sources.
