Tuesday, June 30, 2009 · Posted in

PHP stand for PHP Hypertext Preprocessor. PHP also known as a recursive acronym would you want to ask why recursive? It is because recursive is an acronym in which the first letter of the first word represented but the acronym is the acronym itself.

PHP also known as an open source, server side and a HTML embedded scripting language. When we say embedded scripting language it is a language in which it is a kind of language in where HTML and PHP codes can be combined. It is a server side client, because PHP is being process in the server and not in the browser. E,g A user request a page. As you notice that when you view source the page and then only pure HTML code are you going to see, it is because PHP process first in the server and the server will only send to the user or to the client the HTML form.
