Difference between C and PHP(C vs PHP)

• History-C is a programming language design by Denis Ritchie in AT & T Bells labs in 1972.
• Versions-Latest version of C is C11.
• C language type discipline is static and weak where as of PHP is dynamic and weak.
• Extension- File extension for C is .c, .h.
• Paradigms-C paradigms are imperative ,procedural and structural.
• C language support pointers
• C is used for writing highly intensive application.
• C programming doesn’t do string copying do for error checking and bound checking.
• C is slower in certain condition as compared to PHP.
• Filesafe IO and system calls are not offered by C.
• C doesn’t include any garbage collector Boehm GC can be used as a garbage collector for C.
• C support manual memory management with library tools malloc and free.
• C use semicolon as statement terminator and comma as for separation.
• Type identifiers supported by C are int8_t, uint8_t, int16_t, uint16_t, int32_t, uint32_t, int64_t, uint64_t, int, unsigned int, char, unsigned char, short ,long, double.
• C support single precision float, double and long double.
• C support single precision and double precision complex numbers.
• C support fixed size array and one-dimensional dynamic size array.
• In C syntax for accessing the array is name[index].
• C doesn’t support associative array using third party we can include these types of array in libraries to used it.
• C use strcat() function for string concatenation.
• The system is very rigid in C. C doesn’t let any mistake get into the environment and can be frustrating in the development process when looking for bugs.

Hello World program in C
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello World");
}

• History-PHP is product from the PHP GROUP released in 1995.
• Versions- 5.5.14 is the latest version of PHP.
• PHP language type discipline is dynamic and weak.
• Extension- PHP extension are .php, .php3,.php4, .php5, .phtml ,phps.
• Paradigms- PHP is imperative, functional, object-oriented and reflective.
• PHP language doesn't support pointers.
• PHP falls short for such type of application.
• PHP programming do string copying and donot do for error checking and bound checking.
• PHP is faster as compared to C.
• Filesafe IO and system calls,PHP support for the both.
• PHP support garbage collection and there is also gc_enable function.
• PHP support automatic memory management with reference counting.
• PHP use semicolon for terminating statement doesn’t use commas.
• Type identifiers support by PHP are 32 bit unsigned int and 64 bit signed bit.
• PHP support double precision float and single precision float, double and long double.
• PHP doesn’t support complex numbers.
• PHP doesn’t support fixed size array it support only one-dimensional dynamic size array.
• In PHP syntax for accessing the same array id $name[index].
• Built in PHP type array are associative type also PHP internally include the numerical indexes of the array.
• PHP use + operator to concatenate the function of the data structure.
• General permissiveness of the programs has PHP to be more lenient.PHP is more forgiving with new mistakes.
• PHP visibility over internet is secure because use on open source platform.

Hello World program in PHP*/
             <?php echo 'Hello World'; ?>
