<acronym>PHP</acronym>, which stands for "<literal>PHP: Hypertext
|
|
|
|
Preprocessor</literal>" is a widely-used Open Source general-purpose

|
|
scripting language that is especially suited for web
|
2007-06-20 22:25:43 +00:00
|
|
|
development and can be embedded into HTML. Its syntax draws
|
|
|
|
upon C, Java, and Perl, and is easy to learn. The main goal of
|
|
|
|
the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically
|
|
|
|
generated web pages quickly, but you can do much more with PHP.
