What is PHP

This programming language is intended for creating websites. It was introduced in 1994 and is still actively used to this day. PHP is a de-facto standard programming environment for modern web developers.

There are many tools that can help users work with this language, for example EasyPHP or XAMPP.

Installing the framework

To take advantage of all the PHP features, your computer must be equipped with an HTTP server. It can be Nginx, Apache or Microsoft IIS.

Besides that PHP 5.6.0 or newer is required, along with database storage engines and a composer.

It is also very useful to have mbstring and intl PHP extensions enabled. To do that, users are instructed to open the PHP.ini file, find the corresponding text strings and delete the “;” symbol before the names of those extensions.
