There was a time when an entire website containing several web pages was easily possible on PHP instead of HTML file for each page. As PHP was free to download and could be easily installed, PHP website development became very popular and most of the business entities were looking for establishing their online identities by building websites by PHP. And specifically during the periods of recessions, for continuing the web business unimpeded PHP experts were called upon and greater demands were created for PHP website development. Since PHP is a free source language and less complicated compared to other programming languages like Java, .Net, etc it was of great demand and stood out uniquely among other programming languages. Almost anyone could easily learn PHP and therefore the cost of website development was greatly reduced. To go with PHP, MySQL database also provided free solutions to several problems related to database management which were only possible by expert programmers that largely increased the budgets for web development until that point. But the situation has largely changed in recent times as the competition has increased a lot which has led to the birth of several other frameworks and languages and so on. Today it takes almost nothing to set up a fully fledged blog only at the expense of a free Word press account. This is perhaps accountable for growing complexities of PHP and virtually the MySQL database is no longer entirely free.
