PHP sits on the server and is not visible or modifiable by the users (unlike Javascript, CSS or HTML). Over 75% of websites where the server-side programming is known, use PHP. Given its long-standing popularity and large user base, PHP continues to be a prevalent choice for web developers around the world.
