PHP
PHP is an open source scripting language for web development that can be hosted successfully on almost any modern web server platform. The PHP engine is available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OSX. This makes PHP very versatile, and the number of freely available libraries is a boon to application programmers.
PHP is often referred to in relation to complimentary technologies as LAMP. LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. PHP programmers may well comprise the largest web development community with an abundance of online guides and tools. PHP is something of cost-efficient programming language because most major tools are free to use.
A development environment for PHP can be configured in less than hour by using quickly deployable hosting environments such as MAMP, or WAMP for Windows. There are no licensing fees for hosting PHP applications, unlike Windows proprietary .NET platform. This generally means leased hosting space is considerably less expensive than .NET / MS SQL Server applications.

Coda 1.5 Released
August 29, 2008A new version of the Mac OS X web development tool, CODA, was release this week and features some very useful additions. For the uninitiated, CODA is Mac software for writing website code, creating CSS style documents, and quickly performing file transfers from a development environment to a server. CODA has a capable text editor with syntax highlighting, and an elegant system for managing and synchronizing files - best of all it is a breeze to use with a standardize Mac interface.
Version 1.5 has an improved code browser where block elements in HTML, CSS, javascript, and PHP are listed for quick reference. The previous version did not support this feature for mixed files. The new version of CODA also includes an excellent search tool which permits search for text across all project documents.
PHP and SimpleXML
February 17, 2008PHP, the open-source scripting language, has an excellent extension for handling xml files in PHP version 5. SimpleXML saves programming time by loading XML files into an intuitive object oriented structure that leverages OOP by creating parent-child relationships between nested XML tags as well as using XML attributes as PHP object attributes. Saving new data is as simple as calling the built in asXML() method.
