| PHP Programming Language |
PHP is the leading programming language for the development of websites and online applications......and is used on 75% of all web servers.
PHP is a general-purpose scripting language that was actually originally designed for web development and the production of dynamic web pages. To generates a web page document, the web server with a PHP processor module interprets the PHP code that has been embedded in the HTML source document and constructs the page. As well as generating web pages PHP has the functionality to generate images on the fly making it a fantastic all round package. Market SharePHP is the leading programming language used on the Internet and is installed on over 75% of all web servers. PerformancePHP has better performance ratings than most other programming languages do. It is fast, efficient, and works great with any Internet browser, as well as integrating into almost any web server. No fees or direct costsAnother reason that PHP is preferred among users is that it is entirely free. PHP is under a royalty free license and this means that you don't have to pay anyone to use it. In fact, using the language has no direct costs at all. The absence of restrictive licenses provides some major flexibility when compared to proprietary and licensed languages like ASP.NET and Java!Server bills are greatly reducedWhile PHP may run on a Windows based server, it works better running on Apache and Linux, (both of which are open sourced software). Because there are no upfront or ongoing costs with open source (i.e. even the future updates are free of charge), your server maintenance bills will be cut to a remnant of what could be paid for your Windows servers (which would include ongoing upgrades, maintenance costs and hence hosting fees).Mature Code & Validated TechnologyPHP has been actively developed for over 15 years, (which makes it the same age as many languages seen as 'commercial' - like Java, ColdFusion, and ASP.NET) and it has been developed precisely for the Internet. Just like these other languages, PHP is a validated technology but without the costs. Large popular websitesPHP is used on the most popular website on the Internet; Facebook. Also, it is used in the the top twenty websites when ranked by their traffic, and in 20 percent of the overall top ranked websites. Some other notable sites include Digg, Yahoo, Wikipedia, and Flickr. Clearly, PHP isn't just a programming language for small business or for companies out to save money. Consistently UpdatedThe PHP language is kept up to date by a team of global experts who ensure that the language is always relevant to the requirements of today's websites. In 2009 alone there were 3 major updates to the language and there have been 2 major updates in 2010.Professional Integrated Developer EnvironmentsAn Integrated Developer Environment (or IDE for short) is a desktop software solution that provides a developer with all the required tools to develop a new project. An IDE may be something that is as quaint as Notepad or could be as complex as Microsoft's Visual Studio 2010. development costsPHP has a wide range of amazing open source IDE's to assist us in our role, as your programmer, application developer and website designer. This means that we don't have to resource expensive software to allow our programmers to do their work! And this becomes an overheads cost benefit for our projects and subsequently, competitive quoting on projects; i.e. we don't have to cost in the overhead of spending money on IDE's or continuously spend money on the latest version upgrades. Support networkAcross the globe there are hundreds of thousands of website development businesses who provide design, development, maintenance, training and support for PHP driven websites. The Proof Creative team is one of these businesses with extensive experience and expertise; with many of our clients relying on us to maintain their business websites and keep them up and functioning as they should. SummaryPHP is the leading programming language for developing applications for the web.
