PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a popular open-source server-side scripting language primarily

used for web development. It was created in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf and has evolved into a
powerful tool for building dynamic websites and applications.

Key Features of PHP:

1. Server-Side Execution:
o PHP scripts run on the server, generating HTML that is sent to
the client's browser.

2. Embedded in HTML:
o PHP can be directly embedded into HTML, making it convenient
for web developers.

3. Cross-Platform:
o Runs on various platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux,
and most web servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx).

4. Database Integration:
o Supports various databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and
MongoDB.

5. Extensive Libraries and Frameworks:


o Comes with built-in libraries for common tasks (e.g., file
handling, session management).
o Popular frameworks include Laravel, Symfony, and CodeIgniter.

6. Object-Oriented and Procedural Programming:


o Offers flexibility for developers to write in either paradigm.

7. Large Community:
o A massive user base ensures extensive documentation, tutorials,
and third-party tools.
