(PHP) An
Open Source,
server-side,
cross-platform,
scripting language used to
create dynamic web pages.
PHP can be embedded in
HTML using special tags like:
<?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>
This is stored in a file with a ".php" extension. The
web server passes the file to the PHP interpreter which executes
the code in the <?php ... ?> tags. This generates ordinary
HTML to send to the
web browser.
PHP is a
recursive acronym.
