The History of PHP

PHP is a scripting language originally designed for producing dynamic web pages. It has evolved to include a command line interfacecapability and can be used in standalone graphical applications.[3](Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP)

PHP, Personal Home Page, was written in the C programming language, and has undergone many developments since its creation in 1994. Today the development of PHP version 6 is underway. The use of PHP as a general-purpose scripting  language has made it very popular for website building, especially since it is free. It can run on most webservers and many operating systems and platforms.

In April 2007, over 20 million Internet domains were using PHP. PHP is used by popular websites user-facing portion, such as Facebook, Wikipedia, Yahoo, Tagged, and MyYearbook.

PHP only parses code within its delimiters. Anything outside its delimiters is sent directly to the output and is not parsed by PHP. The most common delimiters are <?php and ?>, which are open and close delimiters respectively. <script language=”php”> and </script> delimiters are also available. Everything outside the delimiters is ignored by the parser and is passed through as output.[51](Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP)
