Many organizations are keen on hiring PHP developers who can help them build some great applications. When almost 8/10 websites you visit are using PHP in some way or another, it is a great idea to know about the design patterns used to make PHP applications.
Do you know, PHP is used by 78.9% of websites with a server-side language.

<?php
