What is PHP?
In short, it is a scripting language originally designed for use on the Web. It is fast, free and specifically developed with features focused on creating dynamic web pages like online stores, blogs, news sites and wikis. It was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf to use on his personal home page and it has evolved into one of the most common languages seen on the web with more than 20 million web sites using it.
