About
PHP is a widely used free server-side scripting language designed for building dynamic web applications and powering content-driven websites.
Originally meaning "Personal Home Page", it now uses the recursive acronym "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" and is tightly integrated with HTML, databases, and web servers.
Since version 7, PHP has evolved substantially, introducing major performance gains that roughly doubled execution speed compared to PHP 5 and reduced memory usage. PHP 8 added features such as just-in-time compilation, type system improvements, attributes, enums, readonly properties, and fibers.
Swift is a high-level, compiled programming language created by Apple for building iOS and Mac applications.
