About PHP

More preferably known as PHP (PHP Hypertext PreProcessor), Open Source Technology for developing Dynamic Web Applications is famously known to the worldwide developer community. The endless possibilities of the PHP scripting language and a great community of users have made it one of the most popular open-source languages. For all you people living outside the UNIX world, Open Source means it doesn t cost anything. You can use it as much as you want and where you want, and nobody will ever charge you thousands of dollars for licenses and support. Even though it was originally conceived as a set of macros to help coders maintain personal home pages, its name grew a lot more from its purpose.

Since then, PHP s capabilities have been extended, taking it beyond a set of utilities to a full-featured programming language, capable of managing huge database-driven online environments.

Well-maintained open source projects offer users additional benefits. You benefit from an accessible and committed community who offers a wealth of experience in the subject, as fast and as cheap as possible. Chances are that any problem you encounter in your coding can be answered swiftly and easily with a little research. If that fails, a question sent to a mailing list or forum can have an intelligent, authoritative response. You also can be sure that bugs will be addressed as they are found, and that new features will be made available as the need is defined. You will not have to wait for the next commercial release before taking advantage of improvements, and there is no hidden interest in a particular server product or operating system. You are free to make choices that suit your needs or those of your clients and incorporate whatever components you want.
