PHP is a server-side language suited towards web development. The acronym is recursive, standing for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.
Considerably more versatile than CGI scripting, PHP is often used to add interactivity to plain HTML and bolster web frameworks.
The language can be employed on any operating system. PHP is supported by most common web servers and is often handled through an interpreter module. This combines static web code with dynamic inclusions.
