 PHP is very simple, familiar with multi platform.PHP is too familiar to web based application like facebook.com and Web CMS platforms developed based on PHP such as Wordpress,Joomla,Drupal etc. PHP is popular because of its largest community. 

In webhosting provider's (commercial and free) "in cpanel" web application based on PHP programming is very easy to run.php is also easy if combined with other scripts such as Ajax or jquery. These are among the reasons to make Php popular for web development.

Website has become necessity for businesses in Pakistan's local market also.But due to the increasing trend of outsourcing globally,new web development agencies are rapidly growing in Pakistan, getting work from international markets.Since most of the development work either CMS based like Wordpress,Joomla etc or applications design demand Php programming so the demand of Php developers is also increased.

 

Cheers!

PHP was made solely for web development. Java and Python were not originally intended for this. Also running PHP in a server is relatively easier than Java .

Best for development means that php has more feature than other Interpreted languages such as: python and ruby, but in fact php won't stand against any of them, they are easier, readable, and scalable. Python has a huge community (less than php community), and a variety of web frameworks like django, flask, and pyramid.Pyrhon and Ruby are a true object oriented programming languaged .

PHP is the easiest!! and also is becoming more and more powerful, especially with the release of the very well structured frameworks such as Laravel and Symphony. It became so easy to develop elegant high quality web applications quickly. Unlike developers of .NET or JavaEE who wasts a long time setting the envirements and preparing configurations...PHP is not perfect, it might never become (mainly because it's not an OOP language, but it supports it). However it's the most widely used among all other web languages.

With PHP you can develop anything and the most important thing is you can find a lot of open source code online.

  • Everything in its bundle is free like PHP, Mysql and Linux.
