A high level programming language is one where a programmer doesn’t need to concern themselves with system-level operations such as memory management and code is generally re-usable across platforms. PHP is about as high level as you can get, and just when you think PHP can’t get any more higher, someone comes along and creates a neural network class….
The API and framework has been simplified to implement in PHP projects. Unlike other Neural Network frameworks, Neural Mesh is written purely in PHP using a MySQL database. This means it is easy to install on most host providers. The required versions are PHP 5 or later and MySQL 5 or later with the following extensions installed: SimpleXML, MySQLi and GZip.

There was a whole section left out about how I wasted my youth optimizing it haha. That will be in a phparch article at the end of the year.
Thanks for the interest.
