PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. If you are new to PHP and want to get some idea of how it works, try the introductory tutorial. After that, check out the online manual, and the example archive sites and some of the other resources available in the links section. »»»

PHPBenelux aims to be the Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg community, user group and resource for people and companies that are interested in PHP.

The goal of PHPBenelux is to become the central point of contact for PHP developers in the Benelux where we can provide workshops, talks and best-practice sessions to share knowledge among fellow PHP developers and to emphasize that PHP has grown up as a language.

PHPBenelux shall also promote PHP as a programming language to enterprises and software developers who are looking for an alternative technology. There is still a lot of cleaning up to do to remove the “do-it-yourself” and “spielerei” atmosphere that still surrounds PHP.

As being a central point for PHP developers, PHPBenelux can also attract recruitment agencies seeking PHP developers for either job opportunities or development projects. Because of the elevated interest for PHP developers world-wide, only local companies or companies from neighboring countries can post their opportunities.
