PHP is a popular general purpose scripting language that is especially suited to web development. It can evaluate data sent from a browser, build custom web content to serve the browser, talk to a database, and even send and receive cookies (little packets of information that a browser uses to remember things). PHP can power everything from your blog to the most popular websites in the world. You can mix it with HTML or it can be used in combination with various template engines and web frameworks. This is a must-have coding language for any developer.
