2.3.12 PHP
2.3.12.1 The Definition of PHP
PHP
is a scripting
language
that
is
used
mostly and widely
in web development due
to
its easiness and simplicity. PHP can be embedded
in
HTML easily.
Much
syntax of
PHP is borrowed from other famous programming languages such C, Java, and Perl.
Therefore,
the
purpose
of
creator
developing
and
creating
PHP
is
to
allow
web
developers to write dynamic web pages quickly.
In PHP pages,
you simply write the code which
is similar
to
HTML
files and
if
you
want to insert any kind of logic, you simply enclosed in by using “<?” and end with “?>”.
For example, here is a section of a PHP page that results in “Thank you Raymond”.
Thank you <? echo $_POST[‘name’]; ?>
