WHAT IS PHP?

PHP is probably the most popular
scripting language on the web. It is
used to enhance web pages. With
PHP, you can do things like create
username and password login
pages, check details from a form,
create forums, picture galleries,
surveys, and a whole lot more. If
you've come across a web page that
ends in PHP, then the author has
written some programming code to
liven up the plain, old HTML.
PHP is known as a server-sided
language. That's because the PHP
doesn't get executed on your
computer, but on the computer you
requested the page from. The results
are then handed over to you, and
displayed in your browser. Other
scripting languages you may have
heard of are ASP, Python and Perl.
(You don't need to know any of
these to make a start on PHP. In fact,
these tutorials assume that you have
no programming experience at all.)
