PHP 5

Create and manage dynamic websites by adding PHP to your server.

One of the great steps forwards in creation process and programing of websites was without any doubt the liberation of the PHP language. PHP (Personal Home Page) appeared in 1994 to improve the features of the HTML websites when it came to communicating with servers and databases. PHP 5 (renamed PHP Hypertext Pre-processor after version 3) is the last version of this excellent interpreted programing language that nowadays is the base of the vast majority of websites that we visit daily.

  To show all the power of PHP 5, it is necessary to have a database (generally MySQL) and a web server with the necessary extensions. With this base, it is possible to make the most of the improvements in object-orientated programing that PHP 5 includes, offer a greater performance than earlier versions and more complete support for XML.

  One of the most interesting innovation for developers it the complete implementation of the Zend Engine 2.0, that offers functions and improvements that are noteworthy.

  The vast advantage of PHP 5 in comparison with other languages focused towards web program is its similitude with C, C++, Java and Python, languages that very well known by any developer and that launched this language when it was first developed
