What is PHP?
Answer: PHP is a server-side scripting language that is specially designed for the Web. In an HTML page, you can embed PHP code that is executed every time the page is visited. The PHP code will be interpreted in the web server and generate HTML or other output seen by the visitor.
PHP is an open source product, which means that you can access its source code and can use, modify and redistribute it for free.
PHP was originally just the abbreviation of Personal Home Page (Personal Home Page), but the post-pull was modified and adopted the GNU naming convention (GNU=Gnu's Not UNIX), and now it is the abbreviation of PHP Hypertext Preprocessor.
