what is PHP?

PHP


What is PHP ?

It is an acronym for Hypertext Preprocessor.

It is widely used open source general scripting language.

It is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.











The origins of PHP:
          
  “  Wonderful things come from singular inspiration”


PHP began life as simple way to track visitors to Rasmus Ledorf’s resume.

It also could embed SQL queries in web pages.




What can PHP do ?
                   Anything. PHP is mainly focused on
 server side scripting, so you can do anything any
other CGI program can do, such as collect from data,
generate dynamic page content or send and receive
cookies. But PHP cannot do much more.
