PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor (yes, it's a recursive acronym). It is a popular server-side scripting language used primarily for web development. PHP code is executed on the server, and the result (usually HTML) is sent to the browser.
In Simple Terms
PHP allows you to create dynamic web pages—pages that can change based on user input, data from a database, or other factors. It’s the engine behind websites like WordPress, Facebook (originally), and many custom web applications.
