PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (Personal Home Page)
(P-H-P)
PHP started out as a wrapper around the Perl language. At that time PHP stood for Personal Home Page. Today the acronym really does not stand for anything specific. Basically, PHP is a server-side scripting language for HTML. You can use it to add dynamic features to HTML pages or use it to create entire dynamic sites that generate HTML on the fly in response to user input. Its syntax is a combination of C, Java, and Perl.
