PHP PROGRAMMING INDIA
PHP the Hypertext Preprocessor is one of the most commonly used open source general-purpose scripting languages for websites. The best thing with php is you can enbed it in html as per your need, it starts with a tag and ends with a tag so that part can be embedded anywhere as per requirement.
Why PHP & What PHP can do?
* Server-Side Scripting
This is the most traditional and main target field for PHP, this is called server side scripting because it runs on a particular action it can be a loge load or button press, you need only 3 things to run php , the php parser (cgi or server module) a web server and a web browser.
* Command Line Scripting
This is a additional advantage with php , you can run a php script on command line there is no need of webserver or web browser if you are running script on command line, you only need a php parser.
* Writing Desktop Applications
PHP is not a best language to write desktop applications , if you are an expert and want to do some extra ordinary work you can go with an advanced version PHP GTK, you ill have ability to write corss platform scripts this way.PHP-GTK is an extension to PHP, not available in the main distribution.
* Cross Platform Compatibility
Unlike other languages PHP can be used with most of the available operating systems like windows, linux, mac os x PHP also supports most of the web servers today this includes Apache, Microsoft IIS, PWS (personal web server) Netscape and iplanet servers.
* The Best Advantage
When it comes to your pocket PHP is again on top of all other scripting languages, since PHP is opensource and linux is also Free , you can use LAMP (Linux, Apache, Mysql and PHP)to reduce the cost. You can use MYsql as database.
So with PHP, you have the freedom of choosing an operating system and a web server. Furthermore, you also have the choice of using procedural programming or OOPS (Object oriented Programming), or a mixture of them. although now all the OPPS features are available in PHP version 4 but PHP 5 is the solution this is a complte OOP Model.
