What is PHP?

PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is an open-source, server-side scripting language used to build interactive websites. It is extremely well used and has been around in various versions since 1995. It underpins several well-known CMS systems such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla etc.

PHP allows developers to use server-side rendering (SSR) to build dynamic web pages and applications for a variety of tasks. Having been developed specifically to deliver web pages it is perfectly suited to the task of building more complex websites.

At a time when client-side technology has matured into a robust and trendy development environment, PHP is ideal for linking client and server data interactions. Whilst its popularity waxes and wanes with each new modern web technology that is released, its adaptability and flexability means PHP will be around for a very long time to come.

A long term
relationship

At Bluelinemedia, we've been working with PHP for over 20 years.  Whether its version 5.6 or the latest version we're used to the quirks and updates that make each version subtly different.

Our own in-house content management system is built with PHP at its core. Having built our own system from the ground up we can tailor it to support virtually any bespoke business tool whilst also rapidly deploying common features and the functionality required of modern websites.

The universal capabilities of PHP mean that it can easily integrate with almost all other web technologies. We've lost count of the number of API integrations we've developed over the years enabling businesses of all shapes and sizes to embed their website deep inside their internal tools and processes.

Don't be embarrassed,
we've seen all sorts of PHP nightmares before!

We've rescued lots of companies from PHP hell. The fact that PHP is a friendly, easily accessible web development language results in an awful lot of poorly planned, un-scalable and brittle websites/applications. 

It normally goes something like this... Someone with a little bit of web knowledge builds a handy little website or tool which over time becomes business critical. It's only when things start going wrong that the business owner realises that the code is brittle, unreadable and can't be patched. Often this is compounded when the original developer leaves the business! Suddenly, the company is out on a limb and exposed with nowhere to go.

This is where Bluelinemedia come in. Our vast experience with all forms of PHP mean that we can take even the most spaghetti like codebases and corral them into something robust, extendable and future proof. In really dire circumstances, we can even re-build and re-model systems from the ground up.
