Course Title: PHP

What is PHP?

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly.

PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Pre-processor. This confuses many people because the first word of the acronym is the acronym. This type of acronym is called a recursive acronym.
