Using PHP for Web development
I posted a couple of posts at the ITBusinessEdge.com blogs recently, drawing upon my previous work and freelance experiences working with the PHP programming language.
A scripting language written in plain text and hosted by a compatible Web Server, some might scoff at PHP being nothing more than a glorified scripting tool. Yet the fact that a C or Java programmer would feel very much at home with PHP is probably fueling its popularity beyond the wildest dreams of its creator.
Indeed, PHP is probably the prmost popular Web development language at the moment!
Some of the advantages of PHP looks like this:
- Availability of code samples
- Diversity of functions
- Popularity
PHP is not a perfect language though, and have its fair share of weaknesses:
- Complex project demands a certain level of experience
- Not everything in PHP is easy to do
- Code is available in plain sight
- PHP is Web development
I elaborate more on the above points in Advantages of Web development using PHP and Disadvantages of Web Development Using PHP, so be sure to check out my SMB blog there.
