Some of the strengths of PHP

Supports database connectivity. PHP can access over 20 different databases including MySql, Oracle, and MS Access.
Supports sessions. PHP can generate unique session IDs. The ID follows the user during a single session on a web site. This simplifies creating shopping cart applications and tracking user's behaviors.
Eliminates client configuration problems. With PHP there is no need to worry if the client has the appropriate software installed, since the application is executed on the server.
Reduces development time. Even a newcomer can begin developing PHP applications in hours. Yet PHP contains many advanced features for professional programmers.
Maintains source code security. The user does not see your source code as they do with JavaScript.
