PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) was created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994. It was initially developed for HTTP

usage logging and server-side form generation in Unix.

PHP 2 (1995) transformed the language into a Server-side embedded scripting language. Added database support, file uploads, variables, arrays, recursive functions, conditionals,

iteration, regular expressions, etc.

PHP 3 (1998) added support for ODBC data sources, multiple platform support, email protocols (SNMP,IMAP),

and new parser written by Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans .

PHP 4 (2000) became an independent component of the web server for added efficiency. The parser was renamed

the Zend Engine. Many security features were added.

PHP 5 (2004) adds Zend Engine II with object oriented programming, robust XML support using the libxml2 library,

SOAP extension for interoperability with Web Services, SQLite has been bundled with PHP

ASP, PERL & ColdFusionDon’t Mind it

Comparison

http://php.net/manual/en/faq.languages.php

PHP is fasterPHP is more efficient for complex programming tasks.PHP is more stable and less resource-intensive.

ColdFusion once had better error handling, database abstraction, and date parsing, the database abstraction shortfalls were addressed in PHP 4

ColdFusion's strengths is its excellent search enginebut a search engine is not something that should be included in a web scripting language.

PHP runs on nearly every modern platform in existence.

while Cold Fusion is only available on Windows, Solaris, Linux, MacOS, and AIX.

PHP vs. ColdFusion?PHP vs. ASP?

The biggest advantage of PHP over Perl is that PHP was designed for scripting for the web, while Perl was designed to do a lot more. Because of this, Perl can get very complicated.

PHP is also easier to integrate into existing HTML than Perl

In large part, PHP has all the 'good' functionality of Perl - constructs, syntax, et cetera - without making it as complicated as Perl can be.

Perl is a very tried and true language, and has stood its ground since the 1980's, but PHP has matured and evolved quickly, and continues to make fantastic progress.

PHP vs. Perl?

ASP is not really a language in itself, the actual languages used to program ASP include Visual Basic Script, JScript, and C#, among others. The biggest drawback of ASP is that it's a proprietary system that is natively used only on the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) platform. This limits its availability to Win32 based servers. ASP is said to be a slower than PHPOne of the pro's of ASP is that, since it primarily uses VBScript, it's relatively easy to pick up the language if you're already proficient in Visual Basic.

ASP support is also enabled by default in IIS, making it easy to get up and running. However, the components built in ASP are really limited, so if you need to use "advanced" features, you'll need to buy additional components.

MySQL Databse
