MOBILE LEARNING SYSTEM FOR NUMERICAL ANALYSIS BY USING PHP

Programming tools are essential for students learning numerical analysis. It is troublesome to go to a laboratory where a computer is located after taking a lecture. Nowadays most students have mobile phones which can be used for programming practice through the Internet. PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. However, PHP has many inconveniences, such as adding a dollar symbol ($) to every varable. This paper introduces a slightly modified language, NAPHP, and a system which is designed for students to use their own mobile phone to write down the language NAPHP and run it on the web page. The system NAPHP-SYS is an educational tool that turns NAPHP into PHP, run PHP code and show the results on the web.
