PHP is a simple and practical dynamic web programming language. The latest version is currently 5.01, and its usage help contains the latest UNIX and Windows installation documents, making it easy for beginners to use!
The latest version of the update document lists many updated features and fixed bugs. Compared with the 4.XX series of templates, its main advantage is that it truly supports object-oriented programming (OOP). However, 5.01 is different from the development level of the previous 4.XX version, and it will take some time to become a mainstream dynamic web development tool.
