The reasons for PHP's popularity are many. Not only is PHP efficient, but the language and the software used to run it is free! Other server-side languages can require that expensive software be installed on the server before the scripts will run. Another advantage to PHP is security – bugs in the software are usually detected and fixed more quickly than those in similar commercial products.

A number of enterprise level companies (Yahoo for example) use php, as well as tens of thousands of smaller companies. Web applications built using PHP can be light-weight, robust and affordable - as long as they are architected in the right way.

What PHP code have you worked with?
