PHP

PHP is a server-side scripting language designed primarily for web development. It was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994 and allows developers to embed PHP code into HTML or HTML5 code. PHP code is usually processed by a PHP interpreter on the web server and the results are combined with the generated web page. PHP can also be run from the command line and used to create standalone graphical applications. It is free and open-source software that can be deployed on most web servers and operating systems at no cost.

PHP Programming at Wikibooks


PHP is a server-side scripting language designed primarily for web development but also
used as a general-purpose programming language. Originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in
1994,[5] the PHP reference implementation is now produced by The PHP Development Team.
[6]
PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page,[5] but it now stands for the recursive
acronym PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.[7]

PHP code may be embedded into HTML or HTML5 code, or it can be used in combination
with various web template systems, web content management systems and web frameworks.
PHP code is usually processed by a PHP interpreter implemented as a module in the web
server or as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) executable. The web server combines the
results of the interpreted and executed PHP code, which may be any type of data, including
images, with the generated web page. PHP code may also be executed with a command-line
interface (CLI) and can be used to implement standalone graphical applications.[8]

The standard PHP interpreter, powered by the Zend Engine, is free software released under
the PHP License. PHP has been widely ported and can be deployed on most web servers on
almost every operating system and platform, free of charge.[9]

The PHP language evolved without a written formal specification or standard until 2014,
leaving the canonical PHP interpreter as a de facto standard. Since 2014 work has gone on to
create a formal PHP specification.[10]
