PHP

According to Wikipedia, PHP is ac scripted programming language that can be used to create websites. PHP is actually short for “PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor”; the initials were originally from “Personal Home Page Tools” which was the earliest version of the program. It is a reflective programming language that has been used mainly for developing server-side applications, which is a web server technology in which a user’s request is satisfied by directly connecting on the web server to generate dynamic HTML pages. Recently is has been used foe a broader range of other software applications. An example of this kind of software was actually what was used to create Wikipedia.

PHP allows interaction with a large number of relational database management systems and runs on most major operating systems.

The combination of efforts and ideas from many contributors has lead to this product of PHP. It is licensed under the PHP License, a BSD-style license, which is one of the most widely used licenses for free software.

PHP has become very popular in the Web industry as a way of making and serving inexpensive, reliable, scalable, protected web applications. As mentioned earlier, dynamic websites are able to be produced instead of a static HTML page. Normal HTML is purely descriptive. It can not work as a variable. Hence output will be the same every time. Dynamic web pages, on the other hand, entails on-demand web page building (http://www.zend.com/zend/art/intro.php#Heading10). PHP would not only allow a user to change the language of a web page but also the colors. There are many possibilities with this new system; it is great.
