PHP (hypertext preprocessor)

What is PHP?

PHP is a server-side scripting language specifically used for web development. After the PHP code is executed over the server, the result is displayed over the user’s browser. It also allows combining structure and functionality with PHP by inserting special tags. The features of PHP can be summarised into the following:-

It runs on various platforms such as Windows, Linux etc, and web servers like Apache and IIS. It also supports a wide range of databases, such as MySQL.
It is easier to be learned by newcomers, because of its syntax and community support.
There’s a set of built-in functions that help users learn everything from handling and database operations to data encryption and session management.

It is used in content management systems like WordPress, Joomla, etc., and e-commerce platforms like Magento and WooCommerce, which help them handle complex operations and database interactions. The newer versions of PHP include PHP 7.x and PHP 8.x.
