What Is PHP?
PHP, or Hypertext Preprocessor, is a server side scripting language that has been created for web development and is also employed for general purpose programming. It can be used along with HTML, templating engines and web frameworks. PHP is being used on most web pages that we see today and almost on all operating systems and platforms.
PHP is executed on the server, unlike JavaScript which runs on the user end, and this is one of its biggest draws. Here the HTML is generated on the server, and the results of the script are then transmitted to the user making it impossible for the user to know the underlying script that has been used. PHP can be used for processing all HTML files on the server itself. It is also simple to use but gives a number of advanced features to programmers.
