Many people may have heard of PHP, but not as many will actually know what it is and what it's capable of. PHP is a wonderful language that is being used more and more each day, but you'll most likely see it on a website. PHP, which stands for PHP Hypertext Preprocessor was created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994 who called it Personal Home Page (PHP) Tools and was originally written in Perl. It has since taken on a life of it's own headed by Zend Technologies who re-wrote it in C and now renamed it's popular definition to the one it is currently.
The PHP language is very fast to work with and ultra responsive. This allows it to be used in creating many full features and very powerful web-based applications, from forums, webmail software to complete web page management tools. The command line interpreter has also allowed users to create standalone applications with and it is very capable of creating GUI applications for any common purpose.
PHP is also familiar. If you have programmed in C, C++, Perl or Java before, then you will pick up PHP in very little time. That's because its syntax is very similar. So similar in fact, that you can actually use several C functions in PHP, such as "for", "print" and others. The author has also converted existing simple C programs into their web-based equivalent using PHP in just a few minutes. PHP now supports objects, for those of you who are concerned about Object Oriented Programming.
