PHP

  • Programming Language

PHP is a widely-used open-source scripting language designed for web development. It is a server-side language that can be embedded within HTML code or used standalone to generate dynamic web content. PHP features a large standard library and extensive documentation, making it accessible for beginners and providing powerful tools for experienced developers. It supports a wide range of databases, has built-in support for handling web requests and responses, and offers numerous frameworks and libraries for building robust and scalable web applications.

PHP's weak and dynamically inferred typing allows for more flexibility in variable usage, but also requires careful attention to type handling and validation to ensure code reliability and security.
