Can anyone tell me the benefits of PHP?

[viviandsouzha]

PHP is open source server side programming language obtainable at free of cost that can be get easily from market. Its coding style is quiet easy to understandable and it is proficient on multi-platforms like Windows, Linux, and UNIX etc. PHP does not put strain on servers. It uses its own inbuilt memory space that decreases the workload from the servers and the processing speed automatically enhances. PHP also run multimedia files as PHP is not much dependent upon external plug-ins to run programs.

These are some of the benefits of php:

- Runs on different operating systems such as Linux, Unix and Windows
- Low maintenance and development cost
- Compatible with servers IIS and Apache
- PHP code run faster because there is no overhead of communicating with different COM objects
- Ability to embed into HTML code
- Supports different databases such as Postgre SQL, Generic ODBC, MySQL, Oracle, Informix, Sybase and Solid.

PHP can be a powerful server side language that is one of the most common server languages. You will want this for site functions that communicate with your server. There is a lot of support for PHP coding out there too as it's so common.

PHP is a very powerful programing language, it allows creating ever dynamic web pages, it even allows changing header, and other such changes which other programing language doesn't allow.

Hi..

The only one word is PHP is best open source for coding & development..!!! meet again.

Ik was de eerste keer, om te zien wat iedereen zegt, wat kan worden gedeeld

- can be used in web browsers
- can be embedded in to regular html code just like javascript and cc
- allows developer to perform complicated operations
- allows a page to load many times faster than it generally would
- hosting is much cheaper for it is an open source

With the ability to be embedded in traditional HTML code, the concept of PHP seems similar to that of JavaScript and other scripting languages.

PHP is a server side language that can be used in web browsers. It has many benefits that range from workload, to alloying dynamic content. PHP can me embedded into regular html code, just like javascript and CSS, if you change the file's extension to php.

It allows a developer to perform more complicated operations possible within the web environment. Because PHP is server side, it offloads much of the computations from a visitor's web browser, to the internet server.

The visitor's computer is not required to do much of the processor-intensive work. This allows a page to load many times faster than it generally would. In addition, the language is highly optimized, so it does not put a strain on the server hosting the website. PHP is also must cheaper to find hosting because it is open sources, unlike ASP.NET, Visual B.asic.net, and Java.

PHP allows for more centralized data, which allows date to be easily stored in databases. PHP also gives developers much more freedom to create light, feature rich web sites that reuse common elements while still being connected to extended data sources. Being able to store data in databases in tern allows a developer to create dynamic content that can be changed easily without rewriting the entire website.

PHP is executed exclusively by the server and therefore requires nothing from the end user. While servers must have PHP installed, developers would not use the code on servers unable to implement it.

There are quite a few benefits of using PHP. When it comes to making changes, you only need to change your single file and changes will be reflected.
