What is PHP ?

PHP stands for “PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor”. It is a widely-used, open-source server-side scripting language especially suited for web development.
Example:

PHP is used to create dynamic web pages, manage sessions, handle forms, connect to databases, send emails, build APIs, and more.

PHP was created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994. It started as a set of Common Gateway Interface (CGI) binaries written in the C programming language.
