PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support
What's the difference between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8? Why is it better to have them all available? How can you switch between them?
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, also known as PHP, is a famous general-purpose server-side programming language, which can be used to set up dynamic sites with interactive components like message boards, e-teaching websites or community sites. In stark contrast with static HTML websites, a PHP-powered website can display unique content to each user under the same page URL. Considering the fact that PHP-based Internet apps can be managed via one single Control Panel tool, which you can log in to from any browser, you will not need to have any computer programming know-how or past experience in order to administer a PHP-powered website. The fact that hundreds of millions of websites all over the globe are created in PHP is an indication of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You must only make sure that the server where you host your website supports the very same version of PHP as the one that you used whilst setting up the site.
