It is a type of scripting language which perfect for web development and used to process HTML web pages. The aim of PHP language is to facilitate the web developer to write dynamically and quickly. It eliminates the need of small CGS programs by puting simple script directly in your HTML file. It makes easy the process of arrangement by managing all the components of large site in one single HTML file. It is an excellent option which can be used instead of Microsoft's scripting language ASP and Allaire's ColdFusion
Basic differences between PHP & ASP
Both PHP hypertext preprocessor and ASP (active server pages) are well known web programming languages. There is not so much difference between them but it depends on the developers that in which language he/she can do work best. Here are some difference points between them:
- ASP provides platform only limited to the Microsoft programming sources, whereas PHP related to Linux-MSSQL-PHP-Apache programming sources.
- PHP is free of cost to use and easily downloadable, on the other hand ASP being a product of Microsoft is not free of charge, even to use each component of it you have to registered first and it is not free.
Change one website page and the whole site get updated
Difficulty while working with HTML scripting language is that, if you want to add new change and your site have many pages then you will have to make changes in each page, and it is very exhausting task.
But PHP provides facility that you don't have to go through all the pages for changes, just make change on one page and automatically the whole site get updated.
