PHP: DEFINITION


"PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" is actually a backronym. It originally meant "Personal Home Page.” It is a recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor which is re-designated.

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is received from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The target of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages speedily. HTML, often in association with MySQL; used in Content Management Systems and other web applications. It is accessible on many platforms, including Windows, Unix/Linux and Mac OS X, and is open source software.

Apart from manipulating the content of your pages, PHP can also send HTTP headers. You can set cookies, manage authentication, and redirect the users. In addition to this, it offers remarkably good connectivity to many databases and ODBC, and integration with various external libraries that let you do everything from generating PDF documents to parsing XML.

Contrary to ASP or Cold Fusion, PHP is Open Source and cross-platform. PHP runs on Windows NT and many UNIX versions, and it can be construct as an Apache module and as a binary that can run as a CGI. When mold as an Apache module, PHP is markedly lightweight and speedy. Without any process creation overhead, it can send back results quickly, but it doesn't require the tuning of mod_ perl to keep your server's memory image small.
