PHP is one of the most commonly used interpreted programming languages. It’s extremely popular since it’s free software, which can be used to create responsive sites such as social networking websites, online shopping portals or online learning sites as opposed to static HTML-based websites. A PHP module must be present on the server where a PHP-driven site is hosted so that its code can be read. Because there aren’t any license charges for this type of module and the language itself offers endless options for the apps that you build, there are 100s of millions of PHP-powered websites. In addition, there are lots of PHP scripts, which you can use for your websites without having to possess any coding capabilities. Considering the fact that there’re a couple of PHP versions, you ought to check if the same exact version that you used while building your site is activated on the web server as well.
