PHP is amongst the most widely used general-purpose server-side coding languages. It’s highly popular since it’s free software, which can be used to set up responsive websites like community sites, Internet shops or e-learning websites as opposed to static HTML-based websites. A PHP module must be installed on the web server where a PHP site is hosted so that its source code can be interpreted. Because there are no license taxes for this kind of module and the language offers endless options for the applications that you develop, there are hundreds of millions of PHP sites. Also, there’re heaps of open-source PHP scripts, which you can use for your websites without needing to have any programming know-how. Considering the fact that there’re a few PHP versions, you ought to make certain that the exact same version that you used while developing your site is activated on the server too.
