Learning PHP: Lesson 1 – The Basics
What is PHP?
PHP is a programming language that can do all sorts of things: evaluate form data sent from a browser, build custom web content to serve the browser, talk to a database, and even send and receive cookies (little packets of data that your browser uses to remember things, like if you’re logged in to a website).
It’s an interpreted language, which means it gets run by, and interpreted by, a server (usually Apache web server or one of it’s alternatives).
