Why is PHP so popular?
Recently, PHP (Personal Hypertext Preprocessor) seems to have become the most widely used web page processing language on Linux/Unix in the past two years. Its convenience, powerful functions and OpenSource features make it the most popular web page processing language. Gradually eroding the market of traditional CGI and even MicroSoft ASP (Active Server Page) ╋ Almost all major websites recruit talents with PHP as a basic condition.
PHP does have the qualification to be so popular╋The reasons are as follows:
PHP is OpenSource software╋completely free╋and can be freely distributed╋so it attracts a lot of people to use it╋and because of this╋it attracts businesses The company develops better engines and optimization software for it (please refer to http://www.zend.com/).
PHP itself is very simple and easy to understand. The simple command syntax and some basic object-oriented processing capabilities allow novices to learn it in the shortest time.
PHP provides quite a lot of functions, including mathematical processing, string processing, network-related functions, support for various databases, image processing functions, and a large number of developers are developing various new functions for PHP. Excellent functionality and scalability.

Unlock php-3.0.xx.tar.gz
cd php
configure
make
After compilation╋There is an executable file in the php directory╋The file name is php╋Copy it Just go to /usr/local/bin. Note╋If the file is too large╋you can use the strip command to remove unnecessary information in PHP╋so that the file will be much smaller.
