What is PHP?

PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a popular server-side scripting language designed specifically for web development. It's embedded in HTML and runs on the server before sending results to the browser.

Why Learn PHP?

  • ● Widely Used: Powers 80% of websites including Facebook, Wikipedia, and WordPress
  • ● Easy to Learn: Simple syntax similar to C language, perfect for beginners
  • ● Great Community: Extensive documentation and active community support
  • ● Database Support: Excellent integration with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and other databases
  • ● Cross-Platform: Runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS

Quick Start

PHP 
<?php
// Your first PHP code
echo "Hello, World!";

// Variables
$name = "Developer";
echo "Welcome, $name";

// Arrays
$colors = ["Red", "Green", "Blue"];
foreach ($colors as $color) {
    echo $color . "<br>";
}
?>

Pro Tip: Every PHP code starts with <?php and ends with ?>. You can mix PHP with HTML for dynamic web pages.
