PHP language.
It is a very popular open source language especially suitable for
web development and can be embedded in HTML.
PHP is a general-purpose server-side code programming
language originally designed for dynamic content web
development. It was one of the first server-side programming
languages that could be incorporated directly into the HTML
document instead of calling an external file that processes the
data.
Currently, the most recent stable version of the language is the
"5.2.12" of December 17, 2009. With the launch of PHP5 in
June 2004 major improvements were introduced such as
performance improvements, improved programming support
Object-oriented, improved support for database connections,
etc. Looking forward, there have been several news stories
about the upcoming PHP6 release with various improvements
but no specific date has yet been revealed.
With the growth of PHP arose associated projects, such as
Frameworks, IDE's (Integrated Development Environment)
that have given the language an even greater robustness and
consistency and that we will try later.

It was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995. Currently the language is still
developed with new functions by the PHP group. This language is part of the free
software published under the PHP license, which is incompatible with the GNU
General Public License due to restrictions on the use of the term PHP.
The code is interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module that generates
the resulting web page. PHP has evolved so it now also includes a command line
interface that can be used in standalone graphics applications. It can be used on most
web servers as well as on almost all operating systems and platforms at no cost.
