What is PHP Definition ?

Description :
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a scripting language that is embedded in HTML. PHP scripting code is frequently used to connect web pages to MySQL databases to create dynamic web sites. Some popular examples of PHP driven web sites would be blogs, message boards, and Wikis. PHP files are actually plain text files; they can be created in TextPad or any other Plain Text Editor. In a text editor set the Save As type to text and save the file with a .php extension. Note: You must type the .php yourself. PHP files can also be created with Dreamweaver MX 2004. PHP is "open source" and therefore free. We use the Apache Server to work with PHP files in the classroom
