To quote the web page, "PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language." In other words, it is a C-like language that lets you write code inside your HTML files. For example, if you had a file on your site containing this: -------------------------------------------------- <html><head><title>PHP Test</title></head> <body> Your browser is: <?php echo $HTTP_USER_AGENT; ?> </body></html> -------------------------------------------------- A visitor to your site might see this: -------------------------------------------------- <html><head><title>PHP Test</title></head> <body> Your browser is: Mozilla/3.02 (WinNT; U) </body></html> -------------------------------------------------- Obviously, what is it used for is building web sites, particularly ones that use databases or have dynamically-generated pages.
