PHP is the most popular web-development language in the world. According to estimates
compiled in April 2004, there are over fifteen million unique domains—and
almost two million unique IPs—on the World Wide Web that reside on servers where
PHP is supported and used.
PHP originally stood for "Personal Home Page" as it was created by Rasmus Lerdorf to track the visitors to his online resume.
The term “PHP” is actually a “recursive acronym” that stands for PHP: Hypertext
Preprocessor. It might look a bit odd, but it is quite clever, if you think of it. PHP is a
“scripting language”—a language intended for interpretation and execution rather than
compilation such as, for example, C.
The fact that PHP is interpreted and not compiled, however, does not mean that it is
incapable of meeting the demands of today’s highly intensive web environments—in fact,
a properly written PHP script can deliver incredibly high performance and power.
