PHP Application Development

PHP is one of the most powerful, object-oriented, web-based application development platforms. Its most important benefit is that it is an open source platform and development tools are available for free. Further, it has proven highly robust and has gone through several versions. It works excellently in combination with the open source Database MySQL. Several extremely demanding Web Applications have been developed in PHP as custom-built applications. Similar applications are also available as open source projects.

NIVID’s Offshore Development Centre in India focuses on open technologies (although it is possible to run PHP applications on Windows) to provide value for money to its clients. Although the development time remains roughly the same, the deployment costs, and the IT hardware and software infrastructure that is required to run a PHP application are available for much lower costs. PHP applications can be deployed very cheaply on web-hosting service providers who offer Linux-based hosting services.

LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) is a well-accepted development platform that gives great value for money.
