How is PHP different from other popular programming languages such as JavaScript? And most importantly, what should a custom PHP app developer know and be able to do? In this article, we will answer these questions and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">PHP remains one of the most popular programming languages to date. Famous sites such as Facebook or Wikipedia are written in PHP, and these are far from the only large companies or entities relying on this language for their websites. Read on to learn more about custom PHP development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">What is PHP?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">PHP is a general-purpose scripting language. The first version was released in June 1995, and the current version, named PHP 8, was released in November 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Scripting languages \u200b\u200bare used to write programs (scripts) that automate certain tasks that the user would otherwise have to perform manually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Today, PHP is actively used for web development, and mainly for server side applications of the site (backend development). The language is supported by the majority of hosting providers and is one of the most popular solutions for creating dynamic websites due to its large set of built-in tools and additional modules for developing web applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Custom PHP Development: Pros and Cons<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The debate over which programming language is better never subsides. We can say with confidence that any language has both numerous advantages and certain disadvantages, and the final decision depends entirely on how well the capabilities of the language meet the specific needs of the client.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Let&#8217;s look at the pros and cons of PHP development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Pros:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The language\u2019s development is part of an open-source project and is available for free<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Its flexibility allows you to create sites and applications with a free architecture<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Compatibility with almost all modern servers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Simple syntax<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Numerous libraries and PHP frameworks<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Cons:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Knowledge of HTML and CSS is required to work with the language<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Lower levels of performance when compared to competitors<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">PHP vs. JavaScript<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Anyone who is somehow connected with web development has heard about these languages.
