PHP is a server-side scripting language used to create dynamic websites and web applications.
PHP code runs on the web server before the result is sent to the user’s browser. It can be used to process forms, work with databases, manage user sessions, and generate dynamic HTML.
WordPress is largely built with PHP, which is why learning basic PHP is useful for WordPress developers.
A simple PHP example is:
<?php
echo "Hello World";
?>This tells PHP to display the text “Hello World”.
