The PHP Monster Introduction… from Wikipedia himself:
PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a computer scripting language, originally designed for producing dynamic web pages. It is mainly used in server-side scripting, but can be used from a command line interface or in standalone graphical applications.
PHP History & Background
Originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994, PHP and its standardization is now directed by The PHP Group. However, there is no really formal specification on the proper usage of PHP.
Because of its ease of use, PHP is now a widely-used scripting language for web site design/building but for otherweb development as well, as it can be embedded into HTML.
The Power of PHP
The main advantage of designing with PHP is that it can be used along with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to dynamically updated the entire web site, whereas before when the web were only in the HTML age, you will need to make change to individual HTML web page/file for the ENTIRE 1000(?) articles based site xP.
The Real Monster Appears…
Of course, trying to use the beast for your web site design easier said than done =P. However, with the PHP tutorials (will be posted in the future) from this site, even you, as a PHP beginner, will learn harness–if not all–little the power of this monster, which can be used to beat ‘almost’ any HTML trick there is ;).
