PHP is amongst the most commonly used server-side scripting languages. It’s exceptionally popular as it is free software, which can be used to set up interactive sites such as social networking websites, Internet shops or e-teaching websites rather than static HTML-based sites. A PHP module must be available on the web server where a PHP-powered website is hosted so that its code can be ‘decoded’. As there aren’t any license taxes for this type of module and the language itself offers limitless options for the Internet applications that you create, there are 100s of millions of PHP-driven websites. Besides, there are an enormous number of PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without having to possess any programming capabilities. Considering the fact that there’re several versions of PHP, you ought to verify whether the same version that you used while building your website is activated on the server too.
