what is php?..

Answer / m.mudassar

PHP, which stands for "Hypertext Preprocessor", is a server-
side, HTML embedded scripting language used to create
dynamic Web pages. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C,
Java and Perl with some unique features thrown in. The goal
of the language is to allow Web developers to write
dynamically generated pages quickly.

In an HTML page, PHP code is enclosed within special PHP
tags. When a visitor opens the page, the server processes
the PHP code and then sends the output (not the PHP code
itself) to the visitor's browser. It means that, unlike
JavaScript, you don't have to worry that someone can steal
your PHP script.

PHP offers excellent connectivity to many databases
including MySQL, Informix, Oracle, Sybase, Solid,
PostgreSQL, and Generic ODBC. The popular PHP-MySQL
combination (both are open-source products) is available on
almost every UNIX host. Being web-oriented, PHP also
contains all the functions to do things on the Internet -
connecting to remote servers, checking email via POP3 or
IMAP, url encoding, setting cookies, redirecting, etc.
