PHP, also known as Hypertext preprocessor, is an open source (free) scripting language that allows you to create dynamic websites and work with servers. PHP was first developed by Rasmus Lerforf in the year 1994. Though it is mainly used in web development, it is also used for general purpose programming. PHP scripts can be run on many operating systems such as Linux, Unix, Microsoft windows, MAC OS and many more. PHP also supports many web servers such as Apache and IIS.
