PHP

No other server-side language is as popular as PHP. With vast open source resources and a huge community, it’s a logical choice for most sites.

Atlanta-based web developers Airtight Design chooses PHP for most web development projects. We employ numerous PHP developers, full-time here in Atlanta.

Main Functions Of PHP

  • Generate dynamic page content based on user interaction.
  • Connect to other systems to send and receive data.
  • Customize the user-experience based on user input and business logic.
  • Control which users can access which resources on the site.
  • Perform different functions on the server files, including creating, opening, reading, writing, and terminating files.
  • Process and store form data submitted by users.

Why We Love PHP

  • Open-source: There is no cost to install and use PHP on a server. This saves our clients money up-front and in ongoing licensing fees.
  • Frameworks: There are numerous PHP frameworks that give Airtigtht the building blocks for amazing applications. We prefer Laravel.
  • Huge community of developers: PHP has perhaps the largest community of developers who share code, resources and information with one another.
  • Versatility: PHP allows our developers to use any common operating systems on our servers (we primarily use Ubuntu, an open-source Linux distribution) and offers our clients scalability and flexibility.
  • Security: PHP is one of the most secure programming languages and our DevOps team takes extra care to test for vulnerabilities and use security best practices on all sites.
  • Database connectivity: With a little plug-and-play magic, PHP can connect to a variety of types of databases. We almost only use MySQL, but we can easily use PostGres, MariaDB, NoSQL, etc.
