PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor. It is a scripting language used to build dynamic web pages. The scripts are inserted into HTML documents using PHP tags. PHP is one of the easier languages to learn, and is widely used. You simply embed the PHP tags into HTML code. The PHP scripts are executed by the web server and create dynamic web pages upon demand, and can do anything a CGI program can do, plus PHP interacts more effectively with a large variety of databases. You can download PHP for free from PHP.net. There are also tutorials available. Because PHP is so widely used, there are many resources available and continuous improvements being made.
