PHP is a widely used, general-purpose scripting language that was originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages.
For this purpose PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document. As a general-purpose programming language, PHP code is processed by an interpreter application in command line mode performing desired operating system operations and producing program output on its standard output channel.
