PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor PHP
<web, programming> (PHP) An Open Source, server-side, cross-platform, scripting language used to create dynamic web pages.
PHP can be embedded in HTML using special tags like:
<?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>
This is stored in a file with a ".php" extension. The web server passes the file to the PHP interpreter which executes the code in the <?php ... ?> tags. The tagged code is then replaced with its output, typically ordinary HTML, in the response sent to the web browser.
PHP is a recursive acronym.
