PHP as a Network Admin?

Kai123

Hello forum.

I just got accepted on a online course at a university in Dublin. The 3 modules are Programming (HTML and PHP), Telecommunications (real low level stuff, magnetism, magnetic flux, logic gates, circuitry) and human interaction with computers.

I'm thrilled with the networking, but found it odd about the programming. This course is suppose to be fairly broad but I have been trying to find if PHP could ever be relevant in a networking admin environment. I have been trying to find what it can bleed into regarding other languages that some network admins find useful to learn but its a real mix of opinions.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Kai.

Network Admin is such a generic title. Its like being in the army for twenty years and putting soldier on your resume.

I have seen such titles requiring PHP, html5, python, java, perl, and toilet maintenence.
