'''PHP''' is a [[server]]-side scripting language for creating interactive [[web page]]s. The acronym ''PHP'' derives from Personal Home Page, but now it is defined as "PHP: Hypertext Processor" (see [[recursive acronym]]).
PHP is widely used because it is efficient and free (see [[free software]]). It can be embedded directly into a web page's [[HTML]] code.
PHP is often used together with [[Apache]] on [[Linux]] and on other platforms such as Microsoft [[IIS]] on [[Windows]].
*The PHP syntax is very similar to Perl and C. [http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp]
