    PHP is a scripting language that is often used to display interactive content on websites. It can be used for other purposes, but that’s what it’s usually used for.

    PHP is open source, so it’s free to use and change if you want. As far as programming languages go, it’s probably one of the easier ones. If you know anything about C, Java or JavaScript, it will look very familiar to you.

    New updated versions usually just add features and fix bugs. When moving from a major version change, such as PHP 4 to PHP 5, there are some things that will not work, but for the most part PHP is backwards compatible, so a program written in an earlier version should work with the latest version.
