PHP Tutorials
The term PHP is an acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. PHP is a server-side scripting language designed specifically for web development. PHP can be easily embedded in HTML files and HTML codes can also be written in a PHP file. The thing that differentiates PHP from a client-side language like HTML is, PHP codes are executed on the server whereas HTML codes are directly rendered on the browser.

Example: It is a simple PHP program to print “Hello world!” message on the screen.
PHP
<?php /* echo is a print command */ echo "Hello world!"; ?>
Output:
Hello world!
