PHP

PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor and is an acronym for that. PHP is a web-specific server-side programming language. It's free to download and use because it's open-source. It's easy to understand and utilise. ".php" is the extension used for the files.

Rasmus Lerdorf was the driving force behind the first version of PHP and the following versions as well.

• It's an interpreted language that doesn't need a compiler to work.
• On the server, PHP code is run. Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sybase, and Informix are among the databases with which it can be integrated.
• It can be used to regulate user access while hosting a content management system such as WordPress.
• Websites like www.facebook.com and www.yahoo.com are built on PHP. • One of the main reasons for this is that PHP can be easily embedded in HTML files, and HTML codes can also be written in a PHP file.

PHP programmes are run on the server first, and the results are subsequently sent to the browser.
• The output delivered after executing the PHP script on the server is the only information available to the client or browser, not the PHP code itself. Other client-side scripting languages, such as CSS and JavaScript, can also be supported by PHP files.
• The following are some of PHP's other qualities.
• Easy & quick
• Efficient • Secured
• Flexible
• It's cross-platform, meaning it can run on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
