PHP And Friends
- PHP is now the number one language
for Web development under Linux.
- PHP works by having an engine parse HTML pages that contain PHP code
fragments, and interpreting them on the fly. They are similar to ASP
(Active Server Pages, commonly used on windows platforms), but supports
a more elegant and a much stronger language then Jscript or VBScript.
- PHP supports connections to many types of databases, integration with
various transaction systems, support for user sessions, etc.
- PHP also has now many 3rd-party extension modules that allow extending
the base system.
