Entry: Why Choose PHP? Nov 22, 2006



Good evening people. Weird the only word exists, this sounds funny but it is the reality. Weird people will conquer this freak world!!! Here is some information about PHP.

There are some compelling reasons to work with PHP. For many projects you will find that the production process is significantly faster than you might expect if you are used to working with other scripting languages. As an open source product, PHP is well supported by a talented production team and a commited user community. Furthermore, PHP can be run on all the major operating systems with most servers.

Speed of Development

Because PHP allows you to separate HTML code from scripted elements, you will notice a significant decrease in development time on many projects. In many instances, you will able to separate the coding stage of a project from the design and build stages. Not only can this make life easier for you as programmer, it also can remove obstacles that stand in the way of effective and flexible design.

PHP Is Open Source

To many people, "open source" means free, which is, of course a benefit in itself.This may sound a little foreign to all you folks coming from a non-UNIX background, but PHP doesn't cost anything. You can use it for commercial and/or non-commercial use all you want. You can give it to your friends, print it out and hang it on your wall or eat it for lunch. Check out this cool link

Well-maintained open source projects offers users additional benefits, though. You benefit from an accessible and commited community who offer a wealth of experience in the subject. Chances are that any problem you encounter in your coding can be answered swiftly and easily with a little reasearch. If that fails, a question sent to mailing list can be yield an intelligent, authoritative response.

You also can be sure that bugs will bw addressed as they are found, and that new features will be made available as the need is defined.You will not have to wait for the next commercial release before taking advantage for improvements.

There is no vested interest in a particular server product or operating system. You are free to make choices that suit your needs or those of your credits, secure that your code will run whatever you decide.

Portability

PHP is designed to run on many operating systems and to cooperate with many servers and databases. You can build for a UNIX environment and shift your work to NT without a problem. You can test a project with Personal Web Server and install it on a UNIX system running on PHP as an Apache module.

Thats all for today. Have a nice day & please leave your comment.
