PHP - Hypertext PreProcessor.
PHP is a server side scripting language. Server side scripting
languages are those which do some dynamic processing of date in the server and form the html page.
To say in simple terms PHP can be used whereever we need data processing and dynamic content.
To give an example. Say we have 100 students marks in a file or database.
We have to show the marks to students depending on who logs for it.
Here we cannot have 100 html files. So, here comes php.
It will process the db/file data and dynamically create html files, as example
<html>
<body>
<!-- php portion -->
<?php
//Here depending upon request
//php processes data and sets it.
//i.e. If person1 requests, person1's data will be set
// If person2 requests, person2's data will be set
?>
<!--php portion ends -->
<bodt>
</html>
Go ahead with the tutorial.
As you read more you will understand it well.
Note: This tutorial assumes that your server has php intalled in it.
