If you are a new web developer or are looking to learn a web programming language then you really should think about learning php.
Here i am going to present 5 good reasons why php should be one of the modern web programming languages on your professional development short-list.
1: Free and supported from 1000 php communities
There are apparently many more than 1000 communities that can provide you with php help. There are exactly hundreds of dedicated PHP development forums and hundreds more that have php sub-forums. Help for the beginner is exactly a forum post away. Generally speaking you will find an answer to your questions in a very short time. Getting help from well professional php coders is a great fillings because it can remove a lot of the uncertainty accompanying learning something new.
2: The cost of an open-source application is nothing
Unlike other coding languages like ASP from Microsoft you don’t pay a money to get started with php programming. In fact you don’t need to download any php software to begin coding. Simply use an open source editing software and start coding. Upload your code to a cheap web hosting account and you are away. You can readily get open source editors from a variety of sources.
3: Thousands of existing php code examples
In addition to forums that provide help and experience for free you will also find thousands of examples that will help you get started and move ahead as a PHP Programmer. From simple code to even connect to a database, more complicated examples that allow you to capture data from other website or a full-blown example of AJAX and php integration it is all there for you to study, take apart and build upon.

If you decide that you want to be a website designer or programmer then php is an great choice. Many of the modern content management systems (CMS) use php like Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla .These are very popular CMS packages that all use php. Each CMS usually has a alive php developer community. And if you become expert in one or more php-based CMS then you stand a very good chance of finding ongoing work customizing CMS packages for clients or website providers as well.
5: Coding with php is fun!
Hopefully by now I have convinced you that php is a web development language that at the very least is worth serious consideration. And while you consider seriously the option of developing with php I’d like to leave you with this last thought-“Coding with php is fun”. I have spent countless hours writing simple php applications, customizing php-based CMS packages and generally accumulate about with php.
