PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, also referred to as PHP, is a popular general-purpose scripting language, which is used to develop dynamic websites with interactive features such as message boards, e-learning portals or community sites. In comparison with static HTML-based sites, a PHP-driven site can serve unique content to each user under the very same page URL. Considering the fact that PHP-based apps can be managed through a Control Panel tool, which you can log onto using any browser, you won’t need to have any programming knowledge or past experience whatsoever in order to maintain a PHP-driven site. The fact that 100s of millions of sites around the globe are created in PHP is indicative of the popularity and the simplicity of use of the language. You only ought to verify if the server where you host your website supports the same exact PHP version as the one that you used whilst setting up the site.
