PHP
PHP is a widely used server-side scripting language designed for web development. It powers dynamic websites and backend systems, offering flexibility, broad ecosystem support, and proven reliability at scale.
What is it?
PHP is an open-source, server-side programming language primarily used for building dynamic web applications and backend services. It is embedded into HTML and supported by most web servers and hosting platforms, including LiteSpeed Web Server.
What does it do?
PHP handles server-side logic such as data processing, authentication, content management, and database interactions. It enables the creation of dynamic, data-driven web applications and APIs.
Where is it used?
PHP is widely used in content management systems, SaaS platforms, e-commerce solutions, APIs, and enterprise web applications. Popular platforms like WordPress, Laravel-based systems, and legacy enterprise apps rely on PHP.
When & why it emerged
PHP was created in 1995 by Rasmus Lerdorf to simplify web development and dynamic page generation. It emerged as a practical solution for building server-driven websites quickly and efficiently.
Why we use it at Internative
We use PHP in projects where rapid development, mature ecosystems, and proven stability are required. It remains a reliable choice for content-heavy platforms and integration-focused backend systems.
