Introduction

Originally, PHP was designed for creating dynamic web pages. Its original name was Personal Home Page, reflecting the web development leaning. This name has since been updated to PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, in recognition of a much wider target developer audience than originally intended.

Indeed, PHP programming now includes many capabilities and platforms, largely thanks to an active developer base offering many free extensions and modules for download under the PHP and GPL licenses.

There being no formal ANSI specification for the language, it is solely managed by The PHP Group, who produce the 'official' version. Being Open Source, however, it is inevitable that various individuals have built localized, specialized, or just platform-dependent versions. This serves to increase the reach, and helps spread the popularity of PHP as a programming language in its own right.
