Technology Used During Development:

1)PHP is an open source server-side scripting language designed for Web development to produce dynamic Web pages.

3) PHP can be deployed on most Web servers and also as a standalone shell on almost every operating system and platform, free of charge. 4) PHP is free software released under the PHP License which is incompatible with the GNU General Public License (GPL) due to restrictions on the usage of the term PHP. 5) While PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page, it is now said to stand for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, a recursive acronym.
