You can also create standalone scripts using php and run them in the background as a cron job.

Basically, a PHP include inserted into the html of a web page tells the browser to retrieve an html file from the server and include it when it renders the web page. This means that you only need to have one file with your navigation links in it stored on your server, and every one of your web pages can be rendered including this same file.

At first glance, the concept of PHP appears similar to that of JavaScript and other scripting languages that can be embedded in traditional html code. It adds new capabilities and makes more complicated operations possible within the web environment.

At first glance, the concept of PHP appears similar to that of JavaScript and other scripting languages that can be imbedded in traditional html code. It adds new capabilities and makes more complicated operations possible within the web environment.
However, the process of removing much of the processing from individual computers has some important benefits.

- WORKLOAD
- CENTRALIZED DATA
- DYNAMIC CONTENT
- PLUG-INS

If your server is PHP-enabled, a far better solution than all of these is a PHP include. Basically, a PHP include inserted into the html of a web page tells the browser to retrieve an html file from the server and include it when it renders the web page. This means that you only need to have one file with your navigation links in it stored on your server, and every one of your web pages can be rendered including this same file.

PHP has become most popular Web programming language not only because it is free. PHP is full-fledged programming language unlike HTML for example, which is more of presentation means and many complex applications can be written it.

Other advantage of applications written in PHP is that they are quick and if written appropriately, they could be pretty safe. There are also tons of ready PHP scripts and functions, which you can modify to your liking and use in PHP applications.
