As if the world needed more proof that PHP and Apache are truely an "unstoppable force" in the online world, this new article from phpFreaks.com backs it up even more.

PHP & Apache: Unstoppable? examines some statistics showing the exponential growth of PHP and Apache online since even as early as 1995. Why is Apache so popular? What makes it different than any other server setup? To tell you the truth, I don't know. I'm not a server guy. I have no idea why Apache is better than this or that. But what I do know is that Apache is extremely powerful and versatile, and that's the ticket to being number one in their field. That's right, number one. 1. More used than Microsoft, Zeus, and SunONE...COMBINED. Check it out for yourself.

I think it's great that there's still this amazing growth with PHP and Apache being installed daily. And, as much as MS or anyone else wants to claim that they have the best and most widely used web server out there, all it takes is a simple look at Netcraft to make them look like fools. Vive la PHP et Apache!
