0 0 1 minute read

Java is a very famous object-oriented programming language. It was developed by Sun Microsystems. It has a virtual machine platform that allows you to create compiled programs that run on nearly every platform. Java promised, “Write Once, Run Anywhere”. It has a continuous contribution from industry experts, Java developers, and other open-source organizations.

Example :

Java

// A Java program to print  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
        System.out.println("Welcome to GFG"); 
    } 
}

Output:

Welcome to GFG

PHP is a server-side scripting language used mainly for web development. It can be easily embedded in HTML files and HTML codes can also be written in a PHP file. The thing that differentiates PHP with client-side language like HTML is, PHP codes are executed on the server whereas HTML codes are directly rendered on the browser.

Example:

PHP

<?php 
  
// Here echo command is
// used to display content
echo "Welcome to GFG!"; 
?> 

Output:

Welcome to GFG!
