PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support
What's the real difference between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8? Why is it preferable to have them all available? How do you switch between them?
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, commonly known as PHP, is a famous imperative programming language, which is used to build dynamic sites with interactive components like message boards, e-learning websites or community websites. In comparison to static HTML-based websites, a PHP-powered site can display unique web content to each user under the same exact page URL. Since PHP-based web-based apps can be managed via a Control Panel, which you can sign onto using any browser, you will not need to possess any coding skills or prior experience whatsoever to maintain a PHP site. The fact that 100s of millions of websites all over the globe are built using PHP is indicative of the popularity and the ease of use of the language. You only ought to check whether the server where you host your website supports the exact same PHP version as the one that you used whilst building the website.
