PHP for Widespread Use

Saturday, February 26th, 2005

PHP has earned the title “Programming Language of the Year 2004″ with a positive delta of more than 3 percent within 1 year. The launch of PHP version 5 is generally regarded as a further step to maturity. It is expected that PHP will be capable to maintain its top 4 position for a long time,’ according to the TIOBE Programming Community Index.

These factors acknowledge PHP as a mature programming language fit for developing advanced, enterprise-grade applications. IBM has also raised its commitment to PHP; this is beneficial because the company has the technical and marketing resources to accelerate usage of the open-source product (PHP).
