As a programming language in the abstract, I don't think PHP offers any meaningful advantages over languages like Python and Ruby that are similar but better thought-out.
what are the advantages of php?
PHP web development means developing websites and dynamic web pages using the versatile and capable server-side scripting language.
- PHP is open source and is developed and updated by a community of developers from around the globe. Therefore, all its components are free to use and distribute.
- It can be run on all major operating systems like Linux, UNIX, Mac OS and Windows.
- Its code is embedded in the HTML source code and it is based on C/C++. Therefore, it is very familiar and programmers are very comfortable coding with it.
