PHP Technology
PHP is a server-side scripting language designed primarily for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language.PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page, but it now stands for the recursive acronym PHP: Hypertext Pre-processor.The PHP reference implementation is now produced by The PHP Development Team.
PHP code may be embedded into HTML or HTML5 Mark-up, or it can be used in combination with various web template systems, web content management systems and web frameworks. PHP code is usually processed by a PHP interpreter implemented as a module in the web server or as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) executable.
The web server software combines the results of the interpreted and executed PHP code, which may be any type of data, including images, with the generated web page. PHP code may also be executed with a command-line interface (CLI) and can be used to implement standalone graphical applications.
