Advantages of Php Development
By
PHP Hypertext Processor is a server-side web programming language that can be embedded into HTML. PHP uses are widespread, and can include any kind of server functionality that takes user’s input and displays or manipulates the input. PHP can run on both UNIX and Windows servers, which makes it more accessible than Windows (ASP). This scripting language is growing day by day. PHP5 a fully object oriented language and its platform independence and speed on Linux server helps to build large and complex web applications.
PHP is a particularly useful programming language because it allows for advanced programming and is easy to integrate with web pages. Another plus of PHP is that the language interfaces very well with MySQL, a popular type of online database. MYSQL is a commercial grade database application that is made available free under the Open Source to anyone. Another plus of PHP is that it is Open Source Code. The actual code that is PHP is available to the public for free, while the source code for products such as ASP is not. So PHP is very cheap. Because PHP is open source, there is a large community of PHP programmers that help each other with code. This means PHP programmers can rely on each other by using reusable pieces of code called functions and classes rather than constantly reinventing the wheel. This can dramatically cut down on production time.
PHP is based on C++ language and the syntax used in PHP is quite similar to C/C++. C/C++ is still considered the best programming language by many programmers and people who love this language would surely feel more comfortable with the syntax of PHP.
PHP and MySQL are excellent choice for webmasters looking to automate their web sites. Now search spiders “see” all the content on a PHP page, the same way it is viewed in a browser. The creation of a php-shopping cart is surprisingly simple and when done with precision it could translate into a highly effective and universally accepted php-shopping cart.

Does anyone know the advantages of Agile Software Development?
My boss has put me in charge of developing an Agile Software Development team, and I have no clue as where to start. What are even the advantages of this?

"Agile" refers to a group of methodologies. You’d have to review a few of them and choose the one that best suits you, your company, your co-workers and the assignment. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development
In general, Agile methods are used to help deal with a few of the more common problems with design-first methods (waterfall). In particular, customers are notorious for frequently changing their requirements. This can often render your careful design completely useless or at least badly flawed, assuming you’re using Waterfall or a similar development methodology. If you were using Agile, you might find that this causes a lesser disruption because you don’t need to throw out your design, just your first attempt at the changed feature.
Most agile methods also have a heavy focus on teamwork and fulfilling your obligations to the rest of the team.
