Rasmus Ledorf, a Danish computer programmer, introduced the first version of PHP in 1995. He called the initial set of codes the 'Personal Home Page Tools,' which he used as a code to track visitors looking at his online resume. After some time, he added more functionality to the script and released the source code to everyone. Ledorf continued improving and developing PHP by himself until 1997. During that same year, two more programmers, Andi Gutmans and Zeev Zuraski, coordinated with Ledorf to create PHP 3.0. This version was the first to resemble the current popular PHP most programmers use today. It has more functionality and capabilities and was officially called 'PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.' The latest PHP is version 5, with several release updates. It still resembles the functionality of version 3.0, but with added features. It mainly runs through the 'Zend Engine 2.0.'
Advantages
There are four major advantages when using PHP: accessibility, compatibility, simplicity and extensive community support. Because PHP is open source, access has no restrictions. Programmers interested in using PHP only need to download the scripts, without paying a single cent. It runs in all types of Operating Systems and is also compatible with the most popular Web servers, including Apache and IIS. Programmers also don't have to spend a lot of time learning PHP because its language is related to Perl and C, two of the most popular coding languages. Lastly, PHP has a large online community support. Since it's free, a lot of other programmers share scripts and give advice on how to improve the system.
Popularity
As of May 2011, there are more than 25 million websites that run on PHP. Most webmasters prefer to use the language because PHP was created to work on Web development. PHP can also be integrated to HTML codes, allowing easier coding and flexibility when building websites.
Limitations
Although using PHP is simple, experienced programmers are usually required when building complex and large websites. PHP has a lot of extensions and other add-ons, and an inexperienced programmer may get confused sorting through and checking all of the available scripts. Also, codes can sometimes become complex when programmers want to achieve a very specific function. Lastly, because PHP is mainly a language designed for Web development, building large websites requires programmers to know HTML, JavaScript and CSS.

How to Build a Christian Website for FreeIn Feburary 2016 08,
In Feburary 2016 08,
Choose a free Christian website hosting company. There are a number of hosting companies that offer free website hosting for Christian websites. I like OurChurch.com for its professional-looking Web page templates and easy-to-use website builder application. Others that offer similar free Christian hosting services include Ministry Webs, Witness Today and MyChristianSite.com.
Choose a name for your website. This may be your church or ministry name or a short phrase that speaks to your testimony. If the name you desire has already been reserved by someone else, you may be able to add a dash between words or add a number at the end. Since you cannot change this name once you've registered your site, take your time and decide carefully.
Sign up with the hosting company and register your new website. Follow the instructions given by the hosting company you have chosen to register your new website and name.
Build your new Christian website. You can create your website with the website builder application your hosting company uses. You will be provided a wizard type of application that will walk you through the initial creation of your website.
Modify your new website to fit the needs of your readers. On the homepage, you will want to include the name of the church or ministry, the purpose or focus of the ministry, the location and meeting times (including any special events), and contact information for further questions. Additional pages on your site could include (but are not limited to) a detailed calendar of events, prayer requests, Bible study tools, history of the church or ministry and weekly announcements.
Update your website frequently. Ensuring that your ministry's website is current will make your readers confident this is the location to find current information and answers to questions. The needs of your viewers may change over time, and your website needs to be flexible enough to change to fill those needs.

How to Organize a Tournament ChecklistIn Feburary 2016 06,
In Feburary 2016 06,
Brainstorm major tasks that need to be accomplished on and before tournament day. Examples include reserving event space, placing an ad for participants in a local newspaper, purchasing or arranging for prizes, preparing a registration list and collecting entry fees.
Place items in the order of when they need to be accomplished, starting from tournament day and working backward to today. Ask vendors how much time they need to deliver products to determine where to put ordering from those vendors on the time line.
Break the list down into days, weeks or months, depending on how much time you have before tournament day --- a checklist for a simple tournament two weeks away may have the same number of tasks as a major charity function that takes six months of planning, so knowing that certain tasks need to be done today, tomorrow, next Monday, etc. will help you accomplish tasks quickly.

Separating tasks by when they need to be accomplished will ensure you hit deadlines and keep you from focusing on later tasks at the expense of immediate ones.
Enter the list into a spreadsheet. Spreadsheet software isn't just for complex math equations --- the built-in grid is perfect for formatting a list and can help keep tabs on expenditures and entry fees.

Separate tasks based on the type of skill they require. For example, tracking entry fees or operating costs would fall under Money/Finance, registering a charity tournament as a 501(c)3 would fall under Legal and building goody bags and making signs for the event would fall under Crafts.
Enter items on the list into a spreadsheet organized by category.

Computerized spreadsheets offer built-in structure, helpful to organizing your checklist.
If you enlisted help planning your tournament, print the checklist by section and put people in charge of each section based on their skill sets.
