    PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development. It was created in 1994 and grew rapidly in popularity during the late 1990s as it was used by an increasing number of websites. PHP code is embedded within HTML and executed by the web server to produce dynamic web page output. It has alternatives like Perl, ASP, and JSP but remains very popular due to its ease of use, open source nature, and support for many databases and functions. PHP works by accepting requests from clients, executing the PHP scripts, and returning HTML or other output to the client via the web server.
