Here are some of the reasons why PHP is such a popular server side scripting language. + + I first discovered PHP a little over a year ago at Freshmeat.net. Because most non-commercial sites at that time used Perl CGI scripts for dynamic content, I found it interesting that Freshmeat's dynamic pages all ended with .php3 instead of the .pl or .cgi associated with Perl/CGI sites like Slashdot. I did a little exploring, quickly downloaded PHP version 3, and immediately became a PHP fan.
