Why PHP Required?

Why PHP?

It's no surreptitious that there are alternatives to PHP: ASP, Cold Fusion, and Perl, to name just a few. While all of these languages have differences in syntax and structure, when it comes down to it, they can all make the same results.

So, why would you choose PHP over other options?

- Simplicity. For people new to programming, this is commonly the strongest application. Even those with little or no programming experience can rapidly get up to speed and begin creating full-fledged applications. Because it was exclusively designed for creating web applications, PHP has a host of built-in functions to grip universal needs.

- PHP is Open Source. Because PHP's source code is freely accessible, a community of developers is all the time working to improve, add to, and find bugs in the language. Open Source means you never need to rely on the manufacturer to let go the next edition if something doesn't work or pay for exclusive upgrades.

- Stability, and compatibility. Currently, PHP runs stable on a range of operating systems as well as most flavors of UNIX, Windows and Macs and integrates well with most trendy servers including IIS and apache.

PHP is also able with other goodies, like local support for many popular databases, an extensible architecture, and a processor that not only uses fewer resources on the server than many of its competitors, but also displays pages in record time.
