 What
is PHP?
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of
its 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 stands for PHP: Hypertext Pre-processor.
This confuses many people because the first word of
the acronym is the acronym. This type of acronym is
called a recursive acronym.
