PHP (HypertextPreProcessor)

It is another server-side scripting language used to develop web applications.It is pretty easy to learn and develop web application using php.Being a java programmer i felt the difference while using php.The syntax is very simple as well as the development and the deployment.The database connectivity and session management are just two lines in code.Like java, there is no need to import lots and lots of packages , no need to search for a better framework to implement , no need to choose between application servers ,etc . So its quiet easy to develop and deploy using php.Its better to take of the word deployment. There is no need for deployment.So in order to develop a web application you just need a server that supports php and a database for back-end.Thats it . The most frequently used framework is XAMP.

X - stands for OS (Linux,windows ,etc)
A - stands for Apache Server
M - stands for MySql(Database)
and
P - Php.
