PHP is almost omnipotent, specifically to web development, PHP can do any of the server-side programs can complete the action, such as collecting form data, generating dynamic Web pages, sending/receiving cookies, etc.
Although PHP is intended for web design, it can also be used as a command-line language
PHP can help Web site developers to provide local services to visitors to the site. When a remote user clicks into the site, the site automatically provides it in their native language based on the settings of the remote user's respective browser
page. If the requested language file exists, the text that the user sees is the native language, and if the language file does not exist, the text is the default English or other language specified by the Web developer
PHP can be naturally combined with Apache, as a module compiled into Apache binaries. Because Apache is able to run on Windows, Linux, Solaries, and various other operating system platforms, other Web languages cannot be compared to PHP for this advantage alone. In addition, the Web server built with Apache also has the ability to track records, so its security is maintained at the highest priority, from this point of view, ASP. NET or ASP default run platform IIS is not comparable to PHP. Finally, PHP has a smaller code path, which means less time to parse and execute PHP Page server-side code, so it runs faster.
