PHP
PHP stands for Personal Home Page or Hypertext Preprocessor. It is an advanced widely used scripting language for web site design, see http://php.net/.
Our www server "understands" php scripts, i.e. it interprets (executes) them so that results of their execution are delivered to visitors who request php files. That facilitates the use of very many php scripts available on the Internet, from simple hit counters to blogs, galleries, guest books, to elaborate and sophisticated Content Management Systems and whole portals allowing for cooperation of several designers working on a single web site, see e.g. Hotscripts.
