1. Designed for the Web – PHP has built-in features to handle heavily trafficked sites and to simplify common Web programming tasks. 2. Ease of Use – Companies gain enhanced productivity of development teams and significantly reduced time-to-market of mission critical web applications. 3. Open Source – Collaborative development leads to rapid technology advancement, superior code quality, a massive library of prewritten code, and comprehensive developer support and documentation. According to a Netcraft survey published in April 2002, PHP is now being used by over 24% of the sites on the Internet out of the 37.6 million web sites reported worldwide (http://www.netcraft.com/Survey/index-200204.html), PHP is running on over 9 million sites and continues to grow at an explosive rate.

Technically it doesn't have any advantage. It's simple to get started with and the online resources for learning it is endless, that's the advantages really.
Re: Hi [FONT=DejaVu Serif, serif]PHP is surely an identical good programming language and can do almost everything as HTML and CSS. However, HTML is quite easy as compare to PHP. PHP is also a very good programming language and I think it is very good if you wish to design your web-pages. [/FONT] [FONT=DejaVu Serif, serif]The PHP code is executed by the server when the web-page is accessed and the resulting output comes in HTML within the Web page. When a user accesses a PHP web-page, Web browser only receives sent HTML code, since the server has processed the PHP code in the background. [/FONT]
