The Advantages of PHP to the Website World
Every businessman in today’s competitive world wants to have a user-friendly website to show-off their company. An effective website will create interest in customers to hold on with the company for a long time. The first technology we prefer to use for creating effective dynamic websites is PHP (Hypertext Pre-processor or Personal Home Page).
For dynamic websites, we want our web pages to cover factors such as flexibility, adaptability, usability, scalability, ease-of-use and security. PHP covers all these features which make this language preferable to many designers nowadays.
Following are some of the advantages of PHP:
1. PHP is open source:
PHP is available on the Internet free to all users. Along with PHP, all supportive PHP development software such as Servers, MySQL, Frameworks, Editors, CMS are also available for free of cost.
2. Fast outputs through PHP:
PHP can provide very fast outputs as it can easily run with other software available in the system. Rather than putting an extension, PHP utilizes its own memory space on the server. And that is why it reduces the working load of the server.
3. Extensions of PHP:
You can easily download PHP extensions from the Internet without paying a single penny. You can always check for new updated versions of PHP and supportive database – MySQL.

Though you have built a static website, and you later decided that you want to make it more dynamic, it is easy to embed PHP code into the existing code instead of creating the whole website from scratch.
6. Provides security:
Through PHP, we can secure our website at a high level from malicious attacks at a low cost. PHP’s .ini file handles the security level for malicious attacks.
7. PHP provides better returns:
PHP provides innovative features that cannot be done through other platforms. It can create attractive, reliable, and secure dynamic websites that exist on the Internet for a long time. Through this, you can gain more customer’s support and better returns for your business.
8. PHP is cross-platform:
PHP is compatible with all web servers and operating systems that are available in the market. It doesn’t show any issues running on UNIX, Windows, and Linux. It is also supported on web servers such as IIs and Apache.
