protocols :) Expanding the What can do? section with information on using fields, operating systems, servers, and many extensions. Please someone read through and correct my English language... Do not translate, modifications are coming (for example an expanded version of the history section I hope, with some actual information). git-svn-id: https://svn.php.net/repository/phpdoc/en/trunk@61820 c90b9560-bf6c-de11-be94-00142212c4b1

<acronym>PHP</acronym>, which stands for "PHP: Hypertext
|
|
Preprocessor", is an open-source HTML-embedded scripting
|
|
language. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and
|
|
Perl with some unique features thrown in. The main goal of
|
|
the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically
|
|
generated pages quickly. You can do many more with PHP. Read
|
|
on, and see.
