Wow it has been a fair bit since my last blog post on Adrian's wonderful site. (Sorry about that everyone. Adrian and I have been very very busy as of late.)  But today I would like to cover why use PHP instead of other scripting languages.  Because its the Best and every other language sucks! Of course I am just kidding! But on a serious note, why should you choose PHP over Perl, Ruby on Rails or ASP? 

Simplicity and ease of coding. PHP for all its power is a fairly simple scripting language.  It's basics can be learned in one weekend with a text viewer and a server.  A simple cross platform server is brought to us by Apache Friends called  XAMPP.  It contains PHP, Apache, MySQL and many other useful plugins which allow you to run a server in any environment.
