Why Use PHP?
You may be considering using PHP on your website. Here are some great reasons to start!
1.) Works Great with HTML - If you already have a website and are familiar with HTML, making the step to PHP is easy. If fact, PHP and HTML are interchangeable within the page! While PHP might add some new features to your site, its basic appearance is still all created with HTML.

2.) Interactive Features - PHP allows you to interact with your visitors in ways HTML alone can't. This can mean simple things like e-mail forms, or more elaborate things like shopping carts that save your past orders and recommend similar products. It can also mean social things like interactive forums and private messaging systems. See some examples.
3.) Easy to Learn - PHP is a lot easier to get started with than you might think. By learning just a few simple functions, you are able to do a lot of things with your website. And once you know the basics, there are a wealth of scripts available on the internet that you only need to tweak a little to fit your needs. Start learning PHP.
