PHP
We specialise in providing expert PHP coding services. We can supply
classes and modules as part of a larger project on a contractual basis or
complete turnkey solutions. PHP is the fast growing server side language
in the world today and for good reason - in the hands of skilled
programmers it delivers a tight efficient finished product quicker than
any other platform. PHP is non-proprietry, its future is not dependent on
the fortunes of any particular company.
Why Choose PHP?
PHP is an open source Web development language. Along with the Apache Web
Server and Linux Operating System, PHP is among the most widely deployed
and used pieces of open source software. PHP, according to NetCraft, has
surpassed Microsoft ASP, making it the most popular Web development
language and is being utilized on over 15 million Websites today.
PHP has proven itself across a range of large enterprise deployments at
companies worldwide including: Hewlett-Packard, Boeing, Lufthansa,
Dresdner Bank, Disney Online, Yahoo!, Lycos, Sprint, T-Mobile, Orange,
Nortel Networks, Lucent, WallStreetOnline and Siemens.
The TIOBE Programming Community Index has chosen PHP as the Programming
Language of 2004.
Benefits of Using PHP
PHP is fully interoperable with other languages, protocols, systems and
databases, including C/C++, Java, Perl, COM/.NET, XML/Web services, LDAP,
ODBC, Oracle and MySQL. As an open source product, PHP is deployable
anywhere: on any platform, with any Web server, with any database. PHP is
not tied to any proprietary platforms or technologies.
Proven through widespread deployment and supported by a vibrant
community
PHP is the most widely deployed and used Web development language on the
Internet, surpassing ASP, JSP and Perl.
How PHP is Used
PHP scripts are embedded within Web pages along with HTML, similar to
other Web scripting languages such as Microsoft's Active Server Pages
(ASP) or Sun Microsystems' Java Server Pages (JSP). Like ASP and JSP, PHP
is a server-side language, meaning it runs on the Web server when a page
is requested via HTTP, rather than on the Web browser or other client.
While there are many available tools for building Websites, most were
originally designed for some other purpose:
Java, for instance, started out as a language geared toward client-side
applets, and not server-side servlets.
The Perl programming language started life as a system administration
tool, and was later shoehorned into its role as a Web development
language, resulting in structural problems such as memory leaks.
PHP is easy to use for Web development because it has been designed from
the outset for the Web environment. That means that PHP has many built-in
functions that make Web programming simpler, so that programmers can focus
on the logic of programming without wasting precious development time.
PHP 5 White Paper
Excerpt from: 'PHP 5: Open Source Scripting for the Heterogeneous
Enterprise'
Overview:
Enterprise IT departments face significant challenges in building
applications that tie together heterogeneous business functions and data
from a range of existing systems and applications. Existing portal
applications are too rigid and inflexible to adapt to changing business
requirements. Existing Java and J2EE application development tools are
complex and sophisticated, requiring the commitment of expensive resources
and long development cycles.
PHP 5, the open source Web scripting environment, provides the ideal
environment for rapidly building these applications. PHP:
Provides the ideal balance of simplicity, power, flexibility and
accessibility
Incorporates native support for XML and Web services standards like SOAP,
supporting enterprise application integration and Service Oriented
Architectures (SOA)
Directly interfaces with code written in C/C++, Java, COM/.NET, and Perl;
and with data stored in a wide range of SQL databases
