PHP is commonly used server side scripting language. Best part of PHP is that it can be smoothly embedded with HTML. It is mainly used for development of dynamic and interactive website. PHP can very well interact with other technology to get great output. PHP application development is not only related to the programming in PHP and HTML. In three layers architecture of web development PHP is at server side and it has to interact with both client side scripting such as Java script, HTML etc. and Database such as MySql. On the basis of client request PHP process the data from database and return it to the client.

PHP is open sources technology with large community support. PHP programming is not platform dependent its server comes for almost all Operating System such as Windows (WAMP), Linux (LAMP) etc.
