10.1.1 What is PHP?
From the preface of the manual :
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of
its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique
PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to
allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly.
A nice introduction to PHP by Stig Sæther Bakken can be found
here on the Zend
website. Also, much of the
PHP Conference Material is freely available.
