What Is PHP? And Why Do You Need It?

What is PHP? If you own a website or need a website built, you might want to know the answer to that question.

PHP is a popular and widely used programming language used for website development. PHP stands for PHP:Hypertext Preprocessor.

Consider - in 1999 it is estimated there were over 100,000 websites using PHP to enhance their own website. Today, there are over 1,000,000 websites using PHP.

In the early years of the Internet, most sites were static text pages. As the Internet evolved, people wanted websites with more interactive functionality, such as guest books and contact forms. PHP was the perfect tool and still is today.

PHP is a very robust and mature programming language. It was first released in 1995 and has grown to become one of the preferred languages for website development. It runs server side and is very secure.

As a matter of fact, most hosting companies provide PHP with their hosting packages.

If you need an interactive website, with features like guest books and contact forms, you can learn PHP programming yourself, buy a website package, or hire a Professional PHP Programmer.

Most people do not have the time to learn a programming language. One recent client purchased a do-it-yourself website kit from a large domain re-seller. These kits, though offering basic websites that can work for some people, have little functionality and offer limited features. After struggling with it, this client hired me to build his website. After completion, he now has a site that is beautiful and has great functionality and interactive features his clients want. His website is far beyond what a website-kit could have ever provided. The difference PHP!
