| | Netcraft says PHP is found on 52% of the 14.5
million Apache-based Web sites that it inspected,
compared with 19.4% using Perl, another
open-source language.
PHP is becoming dominant on Web sites,
according to Netcraft.com, the U.K. surveyor
of the Web. And now Sun Microsystems has teamed
up with a PHP toolmaker, Zend Technologies Ltd.
PHP and Perl are used to get disparate parts
of a site to work together. PHP is used
particularly in building dynamic pages that are
produced in response to specific requests from
a visitor, says Shane Caraveo, senior developer
with ActiveState, a maker of tools for
open-source and Microsoft scripts and a
division of anti-spam software firm Sophos plc.
