PHP or HyperText Preprocessor is a server side scripting language used for creating dynamic websites. The script which is initially possessed by the server is then transferred to buyer via HTML files. The language is even used for command-line scripting and client-side GUI applications. More importantly, the back-end tool for PHP is My SQL, the interfacing property of My SQL, an online database, which matches with PHP. So webmasters, who want to make their web sites automated, can zero in on My SQL and PHP, to build dynamic websites.
Benefits of PHP:
* PHP has been breaking new ground in the outsourcing world, with over 1,000,000 websites currently lapping up the benefits of PHP language. Shaking off traditional static image of the websites, the language apparently endows the site with certain level of vibrancy.
* PHP's written scripts are pretty instrumental in keeping track of the visitor's activities on your site. Sending out emails to the subscribers, aiding users upload files or images to the site, and driving content on your site dynamically, using databases.
* Small business sites, can utilize PHP to obtain feed back from users on their products and services. The script even aids in creating a form which will allow customers in sending emails to you directly.
* Being a free open source language, the users need not shell out thousands of dollars in licensing fee to acquire PHP. Cost-savings has made PHP the much preferred language over competitors like Microsoft's ASP.NET and Visual Basic.net and Sun Microsystems' Java.
* Easy in installation. Moreover, PHP Programs have their base in C & C++ and finds similarity with C++ and C syntax and so it is even easy to learn.
* PHP does not put a load on servers. The code is optimized to make the server's job easier.
* As much of the processing is moved to the server, collection and use of data becomes more convenient with PHP. Data can be easily stored in databases and used in new ways. Users have access to this centralized data. Web sites can be created by making use of the central reserve much more efficiently.
* PHP gives developers much more freedom to create light, feature rich web sites that reuse common elements while still being connected to extended data sources.
* One of PHP's primary benefits is a lack of dependence on external programs to run the code. Media files like sound, video and flash require plug-ins to function. Some browsers have the necessary plug-ins pre-installed, but many of the browsers need to download the necessary software to view components of websites. PHP is executed exclusively by the server and therefore requires nothing from the end-user.
