What is PHP?

PHP is a programming language for building dynamic, interactive Web sites. As a general rule, PHP programs run on a Web server, and serve Web pages to visitors on request. One of the key features of PHP is that you can embed PHP code within HTML Web pages, making it very easy for you to create dynamic content quickly.

PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, which gives you a good idea of its core purpose: to process information and produce hypertext (HTML) as a result. (Developers love recursive acronyms, and PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a good example of one.)

PHP is a server-side scripting language, which means that PHP scripts, or programs, usually run on a Web server. (A good example of a client-side scripting language is JavaScript, which commonly runs within a Web browser.) Furthermore, PHP is an interpreted language — a PHP script is processed by the PHP engine each time it’s run.
