PHP technology
PHP technology is one of the earliest created programming languages. However, this does not mean that it is obsolete – on the contrary, it is still actively developing. It’s a proven and eagerly used technology that helps realize a range of web projects.
What it is PHP?
PHP is a true doyen among information technologies. The language was created in 1994 and is, so to speak, the “father” of other related solutions. Although it will soon be 30 years since its debut, PHP continues to be supported and developed, with PHP 8.x debuting in 2023. Currently, it is the dominant programming language – nearly 4 out of 5 domains are based on this technology. PHP is a scripting language, which means that it is possible to control the application with the appropriate commands. Anyone who has had exposure to programming will certainly notice the similarity of PHP syntax with C, Perl and Java. PHP itself is an open-source solution which is why many novice programmers started their careers on PHP.
Application PHP
PHP is a universal programming language. It is most often used when creating dynamic websites. Every time you click on a tab, select an option or move to the next page, there are lines of code that automate and optimize the entire process. On the basis of PHP there are all kinds of online forums, streaming services (not only music, but also video) or social media, such as Facebook, WordPress, Wikipedia or WhatsApp. The PHP language can also be found in other solutions, such as computer games. The dialogues of a playable character with an NPC, the progress of the plot or the success or failure of quests are generated based on paths just written in PHP.
Why choose solutions in PHP?
The PHP language, not coincidentally, has a 78% market share among all domains. This technology combines the simplicity of coding, the speed of finding and fixing bugs, and easy access to resources. An important advantage of PHP is the large and active community of people who program in the language, so they will help solve errors. The PHP language is used by Tesla or IBM – companies primarily associated with progress and advanced technology. Our programmers are able to carry out outsourced projects that are 100% responsive to our clients’ needs. We will take care not only to realize the coding of the expected project, but also provide comprehensive implementation support and supervision of the development of the web application.
