Open Source & PHP
The document discusses open source software and the PHP programming language. Open source refers to software that is freely available and can be redistributed with its design and code. PHP is an open source, server-side scripting language especially suited for dynamic web pages. It is widely used due to being platform independent, easy to learn, and having a large community and support for databases and frameworks. Statistics show PHP powers a large portion of websites including Facebook, Wikipedia, and many government and enterprise applications. The future of PHP looks promising as it continues to be central to the modern web.
