PHP is a widely-used, general-purpose, server-side scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.
PHP can be deployed on most web servers and as a standalone interpreter, on almost every operating system and platform free of charge. A competitor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) server-side script engine and similar languages, PHP is installed on more than 20 million websites and 1 million web servers.
Benefits:
- Open source – no licensing needed.
- Fast development – PHP brings a wide range of functionality for developing web sites.
- Object-oriented – PHP allows an object-oriented programming style which guarantees a proper and structured code.
