Description
Learn more about PHP:
PHP is an acronym for “PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor”. It is a popular general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited to web development. It is a server scripting language and a powerful tool for making interactive web pages. Any language which contributes to the look and feel of a website is an front-end language and any language which handles the logic part of the website is a back-end language. PHP is open source and it is a back-end language used at server side. That is for scripting its scritps are executed on the server. PHP files can contain text, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP code. PHP runs on Apache server and it returns results through HTML tags.
Note that regardless of whether you design your entire website in PHP, despite everything you need HTML, CSS or JS to implement the front end, PHP is definitely a back-end language. However, the front-end of a website can be influenced heavily by PHP.
PHP is one of the programming languages that WordPress uses. It makes sense to rely purely on PHP and JavaScript for features directly related to the core WordPress platform. However, you are not limited to those choices.
