PHP stands for "Hypertext Preprocessor". PHP is a server-side scripting language. This means that a PHP page is processed on a Web server by a PHP script engine. When the client makes a request for any page, the request is sent to the server, the server locates the requested page and executes the PHP code if any and the result is sent to the browser (client) in the form of HTML. The browser then compiles the HTML to display the output.
PHP has become a more popular technology for web programming in the recent years due to its open source technology. This means that it is free to use and is compatible with almost any server, say Windows, Linux/Unix and Apache servers. Though it is an open source technology, it consists of many features which are capable of handling multiple and complex issues related to the internet.
We at AIT Softwares have a team of experienced and professional PHP Programmers who design and implement PHP Programming which makes us capable to build virtually any type of application, from simple contact forms to shopping carts, dynamic job sites, and complex content management systems. In addition to its robustness and versatility, PHP is free (most Web hosts provide PHP in even their most basic plans), and it runs on both Linux and Windows-based Web servers. For these reasons, and many more, it should be no surprise that PHP is the scripting language of choice for many Web developers
