PHP is a general-purpose scripting language geared toward web development. It was originally created by Danish-Canadian programmer Rasmus Lerdorf in 1993 and released in 1995. PHP is an abbreviation for Hypertext Preprocessor It is a back-end programming language that runs behind the scenes on the server independently of front-end software, such as HTML, CSS and Javascript. It is mainly used for processing forms and adding and displaying data to and from a database.
