Publisher's Synopsis
There is no shortage of websites that use the PHP programming language in some or other capacity. PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a server-side scripting language that allows you to create dynamically-generated web pages. Rasmus Lerdorf created PHP in 1994.
PHP works in the backend of a website because it is a server-side technology. This is the part of a website that no one sees. This means that PHP is frequently used to run server-side programs such as data collection and processing and database management. The fact that PHP is a simple language is one of the key reasons why learning it is a wise investment. PHP was created with the goal of speeding up web development; therefore, it features a basic syntax that is ideal for beginners. Furthermore, because PHP is a dynamically typed language, there are less restrictions to follow while creating features. The PHP programming language offers a wide range of applications and features, such as authentication, payments, user administration, and other "dynamic" aspects of a website.
Efficiency, syntax compatibility, platform independence, error detection, and encryption are just a few of the interesting properties of PHP.
Why Should You Learn PHP?
PHP developers work with the PHP programming language to create websites, applications, and programs. As a PHP developer, you'll usually be working in IT companies (all over the world), but there are also a lot of opportunities in design and business. A PHP developer, like any other programming/scripting language developer, should be able to work with many languages and ideally have some knowledge of database, web design, or some page formatting language.
