PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo "Hi, I'm a PHP script!";
?>
</body>
</html>
Instead of lots of commands to output HTML (as seen in C or Perl),
PHP pages contain HTML with embedded code that does
"something" (in this case, output "Hi, I'm a PHP script!").
The PHP code is enclosed in special start and end processing
instructions
<?php and ?>
that allow you to jump into and out of "PHP mode."
What distinguishes PHP from something like client-side JavaScript
is that the code is executed on the server, generating HTML which
is then sent to the client. The client would receive
the results of running that script, but would not know
what the underlying code was. You can even configure your web server
to process all your HTML files with PHP, and then there's really no
way that users can tell what you have up your sleeve.
The best things in using PHP are that it is extremely simple
for a newcomer, but offers many advanced features for
a professional programmer. Don't be afraid reading the long
list of PHP's features. You can jump in, in a short time, and
start writing simple scripts in a few hours.
