PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. It processes server-side scripts, generates dynamic page content, manages files on the server, and handles data exchange between the server and databases.

About Php
PHP was created in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf to manage his personal website. Initially, it stood for "Personal Home Page" and was later renamed "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor." It evolved from a simple set of Common Gateway Interface (CGI) binaries to a full-fledged scripting language used for web development.
Strengths of PHP include ease of use, extensive community support, and compatibility with various databases. Weaknesses involve inconsistent syntax, performance issues with large applications, and security vulnerabilities if not properly managed. Competitors include Python (with Django), Ruby (with Ruby on Rails), and JavaScript (with Node.js).
