What is PHP

Chapter 11
Handbook of Research on Emerging Technologies for Digital Preservation and Information Modeling
Originally derived from Personal Home Page Tools, now stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. Is a script language and interpreter designed for web development that is freely available and used primarily on Linux Web servers. The PHP code is embedded within a Web page along with its HTML. Before the page is sent to a user that has requested it, the Web server calls PHP to interpret and perform the operations called for in the PHP script. PHP can be thought of as “dynamic HTML pages,” since content will vary based on the results of interpreting the script. PHP is free and offered under an open source license.
