Benefits of PHP at a glance

• Easy to program through allusion to C/C++
• Very popular and common for Internet-, Intranet- and Extranet-applications
• Fast development of applications and web applications
• Open-Source alternative in comparison to other technologies
• Database connection to almost every database (MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle, etc.) possible
• It is possible to fall back on already exisitng modules (XML-Parser, Exception-Handler, etc.)

The diversity of PHP-applications is hardly limited: Starting with a small web-shop over content managment systems to the point of complex applications like our market research tool XpertSuite. Another point, which militates for the usage of PHP applications is the possibility to use alternative server operating systems like Linux or other Unix-variants.
