PHP is a computer language for running Web applications.

PHP is a computer language designed for Web servers and Internet applications. You can use PHP to manage complex Web programs that basic HTML cannot handle. For example, a chat room, a music database, an online forum or a page hit counter are all examples of software that can be written in PHP. The ubiquity of PHP on most Web servers has opened the doors for many Web services that provide PHP software for download. You can then upload and run these programs on your own website to add advanced functionality.
