PHP is a Windows application for developing websites and online services with the help of the PHP programming language. Just-in-time compilation is supported. It provides substantial performance improvements compared to the traditional application building methods.

Syntax

This development platform allows users to embed HTML tags in the code. The PHP interpreter can only execute programs within its delimiters. Arguments located outside the module are ignored. This way all PHP code is separated from other content such as JavaScript or HTML markup.

Variables are prefaced with a dollar symbol. It is not necessary to define primitive types in advance. You can configure functions to force specific classes, arrays and interfaces.

It is worth mentioning that this program does not contain a graphical user interface. There are third-party development frameworks with this functionality like CakePHP.

Configuration

Users are able to add PHP support to the web server by installing a native program or executing a CGI command. The direct module is called Server Application Programming Interface. It is supported by Apache, Microsoft IIS and other popular services.
