PHP is an open source programming language that is widely popular on the web. However because PHP so popular in shared hosting environments, many people have an impression that PHP is only for small scale web-sites. This is patently untrue, and PHP is in use in many large scale web sites such as Yahoo and Lufthansa Online Ticketing for the creation of large web applications such as IMP. This article is an attempt to readdress the balance and show how PHP is used in the enterprise

Apache is maintained by the Apache Software Foundation?s Apache Server Project at www.apache.org. The Apache Web server, for those of you who haven?t heard of it, is arguably the most popular Web server in use on the Internet today. While Microsoft contends that its Internet Information Server (IIS) is making huge gains, it?s still struggling in many ways against Apache. The reasons are not hard to seek. For starters, you don?t have to be running Windows to run Apache. It was first developed on the various Unix/Linux/BSD platforms, then recently ported to Win32. The IIS, while a good Web server on the NT platform, is trapped in the "Windows-only" world. While IIS has many handy features, not everyone wants to run NT for their Web server?s OS.

PHP is the market-leading dynamic language for producing modern Web applications. Its popularity for building content management and e-commerce systems stems from its portability, ease of use, and wide support for accessing database and enterprise data sources. IBM and Zend Technologies have partnered to deliver Zend Core for IBM?, which is the industry's only certified and fully supported PHP development and production environment for IBM data servers.

PHP (which originally stood for Personal Home Page) was first written by Rasmus Lerdorf as a simple set of Perl scripts to track users of his Web pages. He soon had enquiries from other people and rewrote it as a scripting engine. He also added support for forms, thus forming PHP/FI. As its popularity grew, a core group of developers created an API for it and turned it into PHP3. By now PHP was being used in situations which were never envisaged, and so a complete rewrite of the script parser was undertaken (the Zend engine), creating PHP4, which was much faster than PHP3. PHP now stood for PHP Hypertext Processor, and was ready for the big time...

PHP.Pirus is the first virus written in PHP, a server-side scripting language used for dynamic Web page generation. The virus runs only on servers with PHP interpreters. This virus cannot be contracted by simply visiting an infected Web page. The virus is saved as a file on the hard drive, and it inserts code into .php and .htm files to call itself. The name of the virus file varies, but is likely to use the extension .php

PHP is a valuable item in any Web developer's toolbox. The server-side technology allows for rapid development of dynamic, database-driven applications. One of PHP's major strengths is its ability to connect with many different databases, including Sybase, PostgreSQL, Oracle, or MySQL.

Database connectivity, however, is also one of PHP's major weaknesses. Specifically, PHP's lack of a standard database API makes switching databases difficult and costly once an application has been written. For example, if you write a program that uses a MySQL database on the back end, and you want to modify that program so that it uses a Sybase database, you'll most likely spend hours modifying the code.

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Like Microsoft's ASP technology, it is designed to be processed on the server side and produce dynamic Web pages.

PHP3 is the third version of the interpreter initially developed by Rasmus Lerdorf. It was originally destined to bring dynamic scripting functionality to personal HTML Web pages, which explains why it was christened Personal Home Page. For the second version of PHP, its engine was rewritten so that HTML form management functionality could be added, and its name became PHP/Form Interpreter (PHP/FI) to reflect this change. The arrival of PHP3 coincided with the rise of the Internet wave, a time when many personal and professional users were in need of dynamic behavior on their Web sites: online catalogs and e-commerce applications with shopping cart management. PHP now officially stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.

PHP (http://www.php.net) is a powerful server side web scripting solution. It has quickly grown in popularity and according to the 2000 January Netcraft Web Server Survey PHP is installed on 12.8% of all web sites. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly.
Being a good PHP hacker isn't just about writing single line solutions to complex problems. For example, web gurus know that speed of coding is much more important than speed of code. In this article we'll look at techniques that can help you become a better PHP hacker. We'll assume that you have a basic knowledge of PHP and databases.

While the success of Open Source software like Linux or Apache has been documented extensively throughout all mainstream media, the rise of PHP has gone largely unnoticed. Still, the Web scripting language PHP is the most popular module for the Apache Web server, according to a E-Soft survey (http://www.e-softinc.com/survey/). Netcraft studies have found that PHP is in use on over 6% of all Web domains in the world (see http://www.netcraft.com/survey). That is an incredible market penetration for a rather specialized product. This popularity continues to rise exponentially, with the new version 4.0 just around the corner. Increasingly, this is being reflected in traditional media: By May 2000, more than 20 books about PHP have been published in different languages, with more in the pipeline. Commercial players are beginning to join the bandwagon: PHP is included with Web servers, for example C2's Stronghold, and Linux distributions. A new company, Zend Technologies, has been formed to provide commercial add-ons and support for PHP. A long list of large-scale Web sites employ PHP, as well as hundreds of thousands small to medium Web sites. Enough reasons to take a closer look at PHP.

If you came late to the PHP Party, don't worry--there's plenty of reasons to celebrate. PHP is an Open Source server-side scripting language for creating dynamic web content, in place on some 1.5 million Web sites worldwide--and growing. There's a new version of PHP out, version 4.0. I just got around to downloading and giving it a whirl.
