Introduction

• Started in the year 1995, PHP is one of the
  popular server-side scripting languages designed
  for web development. Today, a big segment of the
  server side website development industry is
  dominated by PHP. Besides, many popular sites
  like Wikipedia and Facebook as well as CMSs like
  WordPress, Magento, Drupal, and Joomla are built
  on PHP.
• Now these days, a question Is PHP dying or not?
  has become a moot point among web developers.
  Many people think that due to the arrival of
  newer programming languages like ruby, mean
  stack, python, lua, etc. PHPs popularity is
  diminishing slowly. In this article, we will
  discuss whether or not PHP language is dying with
  the help of statistics because stats dont tell
  lie!!!

  scripting language and its usage is increasing

  traffic than other server-side languages.

• So, what is reason behind continuous popularity
  of PHP?
• There are many reasons behind it
• Simple to update- It is quite simple to update a
  PHP website and updates are prompt too. As PHP is
  a server side scripting language, its updates
  will be done from the server side, and not from
  the client side therefore, it is safer. Besides,
  its updates will not be influenced by any browser
  setting.
