PHP
PHP is
a programming language originally designed for producing dynamic web
pages. PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language
that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into
HTML, but can be used from a command line interface or in standalone
graphical applications.
PHP is a fundamentally Internet-aware system with modules built in for
accessing FTP servers, many database servers, embedded SQL libraries
such as embedded MySQL
and SQLite, LDAP servers, and others.
