About Php
PHP was created in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf to manage his personal website. Initially, it stood for "Personal Home Page" and was later renamed "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor." It evolved from a simple set of Common Gateway Interface (CGI) binaries to a full-fledged scripting language used for web development.
Strengths of PHP include ease of use, extensive community support, and compatibility with various databases. Weaknesses involve inconsistent syntax, performance issues with large applications, and security vulnerabilities if not properly managed. Competitors include Python (with Django), Ruby (with Ruby on Rails), and JavaScript (with Node.js).
