PHP Tutorials

This tutorial will teach you about PHP, its key features, and how to set up your environment. It will also provide step-by-step instructions for writing your first PHP program.

PHP History

PHP was created in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf and has since become one of the most widely used server-side scripting languages. It is embedded within HTML and is particularly suited for web development, enabling web developers to create dynamically generated content.

PHP was initially meant as the Personal Home Page. However, it now stands for the recursive acronym PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.

PHP is a general-purpose, open-source server-side scripting language suited to web development. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java, and Perl. The language aims to allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly. It is fast and flexible. PHP powers everything from your personal blog to the most popular websites worldwide.
