Main PHP application fields

We arePHP application field 1. server scripts.

This is the most traditional and main target field of PHP. To do this, you must have the following three points:

A. PHP parser (CGI or server module ),

B. web servers,

C. web browser.

You need to install and configure PHP when running the web server,

Then, you can use a web browser to access the PHP program output, that is, browsing the PHP page on the server.

If you only want to experiment with PHP programming, all these can run on your home computer.

PHP application field 2. Command Line script.

You can write a PHP script without any servers or browsers.

In this way, only the PHP parser is required.

This usage depends on cron (Unix or Linux environment)

Or the daily running script of Task Scheduler (Windows environment) is ideal.

These scripts can also be used to process simple text.

PHP application field 3. Write desktop applications.

For desktop applications with graphic interfaces, PHP may not be the best language,

However, if you are very proficient in PHP and want to use some advanced features of PHP in client applications,
