PHP

PHP is an open-source scripting language primarily used for developing dynamic web applications.

The language is platform-independent and highly versatile. In addition to website development, it is also suitable for command-line scripts and offers extensive support for working with databases.

Functionality and Use

The code runs on a web server. Afterwards the result of the processing is then sent as HTML to the user’s web browser so that the content can be displayed there. PHP can process data from databases, evaluate form submissions, and generate dynamic content that changes depending on the user or request.

Examples

• Development of a WordPress plugin
• Creation of a login system for a website
• Generation of dynamic web pages
• Processing of form data
