The programming language PHP or PHP is a Hypertext Preprocessor is a scripting language mainly developed to create web pages and sites the fast and easy way.
He is developed on C/C++ platform so newly created extensions base on C/C++ can be easily added. Thats why today PHP is used for many more types of applications rather that just webpages. For example there are extension to develop OpenGL graphics with PHP commands :)
The latest version was php 5.3 but something is whispering that there is ver. 5.4. Anyway I will work on ver. 5.3 and maybe go to 5.4 in the future.
Which is the advanced feature that that makes PHP so popular and wanted?
Well it contains large set of functions for doing different tasks, for example you can make validation of email with just one function and two parameters. As for other languages you have to think of creating regular expression in order to do so. So if you need a website PHP is the right choice for you.
PHP has its own good API documentation which is available on http://php.net/docs.php
Don't forget to use it whenever you need it. It is well structured and has lot of examples.
