PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely used server-side scripting language designed for web development. It is used to create dynamic websites by generating content on the server before sending it to the user’s browser.
PHP can interact with databases, handle forms, manage sessions, and build full web applications. It is easy to learn and works well with HTML, which makes it popular for beginners and professionals alike.
Many well-known platforms, including WordPress, are built using PHP.
