Hypertext Preprocessor applications in Web development
In addition to collecting form data, generating dynamic page content, as well as sending and receiving cookies, PHP scripts have built their success on three main uses:
- Writing a server-side script: this is probably the most common use of PHP.
- Writing a command-line script: it is possible to create a PHP script and run it without a server or browser. Therefore, it is perfect for scripts intended to be run on Unix or Linux or through the Windows task scheduler.
- Writing applications to display a graphical user interface and cross-platform applications.
The advantages of this programming language
- Reduction of costs as a result of being open-source: free and distributed under GPL (General Public License), PHP does not require any license purchase or download.

Open source scripting language
PHP, three small letters that represent a powerful technology that has sufficiently proven itself. You can witness it in the performance of web giants such as Wikipedia, Facebook, Slack, Yahoo, who have used PHP at one time or another. Indeed, the open source scripting language has proven to be perfect for building and running server-side content and applications. There are many reasons:
Above all, as said earlier, it is open source, so it is completely free !
Running this server-side programming language eliminates the need for web users to use their personal system resources for running or generating content, such as JavaScript applications. In return, they gain speed and are protected from compatibility problems between their browser and script;
- Being processed on the server side, PHP is secure, so it becomes impossible to display a script on an HTML page;
- Its use being widespread, PHP is supported by many servers, whether they are commercial, academic, etc.;
