So, what is PHP? First off, the name PHP stands for “PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.”
You’ll often intermix PHP with HTML; the HTML isn’t processed until it gets to the browser, but the PHP is executed on the server, and its output (typically HTML or some other text) replaces the PHP code.
This tells us two things:
1] PHP is a server-side language. None of your PHP ever hits the browser — it’s processed on the server. The other thing that might not be entirely obvious if you’ve just worked with HTML and CSS previously is that PHP is a programming language.
2] It’s not like HTML and CSS at all: when you’re writing PHP, you’re writing real code that will perform some task, usually based on some input or variable conditions. Of course, this could be just outputting some text or HTML, but often it’s more.
You’ll be able to change values on your site based on user input or other values (e.g. change the greeting based on the time of day.)
