PHP: most popular server-side Web scripting technology
PHP is very easy to use. If you have some experience of C you won't have
any problems to get started with PHP. Even HTML coders can start
integrating PHP into their pages straight away. But maybe PHP is too
simple. What do I mean by that? The simplicity of PHP means that almost
anyone can write some scripts and as a result there is a lot of badly
designed code out there. This gives PHP a bad name it does not deserve
because it is a very powerful tool. PHP is designed for building Web
applications that are scalable up to a very large number of users. With PHP
5 many developers finally got the robust support for object oriented
programming they where waiting for but also its XML and MySQL support was
much improved. There is much discussion about if PHP is "enterprise ready"
- I truly believe it is since it reached version five. Tom
