PHP is a general-purpose, open-source scripting language mainly used for web development. The language runs on the web browser as well as in the command line. It is platform-independent, which means you can run it on Windows, macOS, or Linux.

PHP can be connected to both relational and non-relational databases, such as MySQL, MongoDB, and Postgress. Rasmus Lerdorf created PHP, a language that got released in 1995. Its official documentation helps programmers to resolve their problems. There is also a supportive community where you can ask for help in case you are stuck somewhere.

PHP has an array of use cases, while the most common one is creating web pages and web-based applications. It can be used to build static and dynamic pages and apps. Programmers can also create large content-based sites using this language.

GUI-based applications and eCommerce applications can also be made with PHP. Moreover, it is used for creating PDF files, data representation, graphic design, image processing, and creating flash.

A number of top global websites are created using the PHP language. Some common names are Wikipedia, Facebook, Slack, WordPress, Mailchimp, Skillshare, Etsy, Tumblr, Flickr, Drupal, 9GAG, iStockPhoto, and BigCommerce.
