What is PHP?

Introduction:
PHP(PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a scripting language used to make websites dynamic.
In order to run PHP, the file containing the PHP code? must beuploaded to a server that supports PHP.?

PHP is executed server side so unlike HTML, other users cannot see this code.

PHP is used by several CMS systems, including Wordpress, Joomla but also by webshop scripts such as Magento, Prestashop and many more.
Of course, you can also use PHP to build your own Web site.

PHP can communicate with MySQL, which allows you to manage data via your website, for example store usernames and passwords and later read them out for a login system.

PHP versions
Many PHP versions have been released over the years.
With each newer version, there are features that are deprecated (obsolete).
So with each version, they take out certain PHP functions because they are not secure, for example.
For the security of the website, it is therefore very important to have and keep the PHP version up to date. For this reason, we do not support older PHP versions.

We recommend using at least PHP 7.2.
