For many, PHP is the lifeblood of web development.
It may be a general-purpose scripting language, but it powers WordPress, Drupal,Magento, and more; not to mention the thousands of individual PHP scripts available. If you've got a problem that needs an online solution, more than likely, you can solve it by creating a PHP script—or downloading something already built.
PHP is clearly suited for web development. Take these top 20 most popular PHP scripts available on Envato Market, for example:
1. Simple PHP Contact Form
The Simple PHP Contact Form is exactly that.
Simple.
And it does "simple" very well. It includes only the basic contact form essentials:
- easy integration into your existing PHP page
- adheres to your existing website Stylesheet
- a validation script
- anti-spam filters
- message sent completion message
- and a few other bits you’d expect in a simple contact form
The Simple PHP Contact Form has all the essentials you need. This is why it has made itself into many developer toolboxes as a "go-to" simple contact form.
2. Booking System
Booking System, aka BookingWizz, is a wiz at managing reservations for any website offering services, lessons, and event reservations.
Packed with plenty of power, this easy-to-set-up booking script has a clean design and is fully responsive.
Called the "'Swiss Knife' of Booking Software," you can easily see why:
- You can book multiple events and services.
- Users can print their details to PDF.
- Organizers can keep an eye on things with the Admin Dashboard.
- Schedule single-day services, multi-day services, and events.
- You can even book phone customers by using the manual booking option!
This barely scratches the surface of what it can do. When you begin to expand into the Booking System add-ons, you'll even find more power, like notifying clients using SMS with 10 SMS gateways.
Impressive.
3. PHP Login & User Management
There's no need to use an entire CMS to handle user logins and have private pages that can only be viewed by logged-in visitors to your website.
This can easily be done by leveraging PHP Login & User Management, a MySQL-powered website PHP login script. You can even change User Levels using the built-in Control Panel when you need different levels of page security.
This script includes:
