PHP is probably the most popular scripting language on the web. It is used to enhance web pages. With PHP, you can do things like create username and password login pages, check details from a form, create forums, picture galleries, surveys, and a whole lot more. If you've come across a web page that ends in PHP, then the author has written some programming code to liven up the plain, old HTML.

PHP is a widely used free and open-source language for creating servers. Recent surveys show that more than 16,000,000 Web sites use PHP as a server side scripting language.

Why, you ask? The short answer: it’s powerful, it’s easy to use, and it’s free. PHP can be used for the most demanding of applications, and delivers excellent performance even at high loads. Built-in database support means that you can begin creating data-driven applications immediately. The wide support means it is easy to host and find resources for.
