PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a reflective programming language originally designed for producing dynamic Web pages.[1] PHP is used mainly in server-side application software, but can be used from a command line interface or in standalone graphical applications.
PHP competes with Visual Basic and C++ as the third most popular programming language behind Java and C, based on world wide availability of practitioners, courses and vendors.[2] Available under the PHP License, PHP is an open source language and considered to be free software by the Free Software Foundation.

PHP was originally a program for making your Personal Home Page. But as it grew in popularity and started being used for other things, the new name PHP: Hypertext Processor was created.
