<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, but you can do much more with PHP.
