Publisher's Description
PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly. It is a project of the Apache Software Foundation.

I remember Installing and configuring apache + php was a nightmare.
I switched to NodeJS and never looked back.

Where are "official" builds for Windows 7+ ...?

Dear Betanews, get a handle on the spam or your site will be no better than your typical spam-link blog. PHP is fantastic BTW.

4 stars! great stuff

5.4.3 already .. better check the change log .. Yep:
"PHP 5.4.3 fixes a buffer overflow vulnerability in the apache_request_headers() (CVE-2012-2329)."
This exploit only applies to those running PHP in CGI form, afaik. Use a DSO module in Apache is not affected.

With C & C++ syntax being most natural feeling to me, I always use PHP for web coding tasks. I've actually ended up building fairly elaborate order processing, support, and fulfillment systems with it. To say it is easy would be an understatement. Not only is PHP 'natural' for people like me, but it is very forgiving for people just learning - not quite so strict on syntax, though of course it must have certain syntactical rules. Wonderful language. I'm glad it is continually improved as well.

I love PHP, so I cannot be neutral... but now 5.x rocks.

UniversityofKentucky: The following PHP based app is free and uses FPDF. It will directly convert an HTML page to PDF which is extremely useful and it DOES do a very very good job:

Lots of nice features natively of by using extensions. Pretty easy web development.
Some bugs exists version after version, due to its complexity, by they tend to be fixed early.
In terms of speed, in the beginnings, it was faster than ASP, and on pair with Coldfusion. Nowadays, it has outperformed Coldfusion, but is not as fast as ASP.NET.

You can't find a better language than PHP.
Used to C++? PHP can do your OO programming.
Like your procedural language like BASIC or MODULA2? PHP can do it...
PHP, of course, works brilliantly with mySQL, which gives the world LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).
PHP is also a great AJAX backend too.
I've used many langages and PHP is all of them!

I've used Both PHP & ASP
PHP has most things built in if not you can add it, usually FREE.
ASP relies on MS & other vendors to add to it & usually costs $$$.
PHP = C/Perl Based
ASP = VB Based.
you be the judge.

Acey - I agree that FPDF is excellent. I use/love it. Only caveat is it hasn't been updated since 12/04. Still I won't complain about freeware.
ds0934 - You are correct about the benefits of various scripting languages. But it's ignorant to rank PHP low b/c you prefer ASP and, as you indicated, you have limited experience with PHP. I have limited experience with ASP, but wouldn't give it a mediocre rating b/c of that.
