PHP is a server-side language, which means it runs on the web server and generates dynamic web pages before sending them to the client browser.
PHP is also a general-purpose language, which means it can be used for other types of programming besides web development, such as command-line scripting or desktop applications.
PHP is a free, open source and cross-platform language, which means it can be used without any cost, modified by anyone, and run on any operating system that supports it.
