What is PHP? PHP is a web programming language used to write dynamic webpages. In this tutorial you will learn basics of PHP. I will assume you already know a bit about programming language so I won't cover the whole thing.
PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML-embedded scripting language. Currently there are over half a million domains running PHP and it is freely available for download online from www.php.net. Much of PHP?s syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly. PHP eliminates the need for numerous small cgi programs by allowing you to place simple scripts directly in your HTML files. It also makes it easier to manage large web sites by placing all components of a web page in a single html file.
