PHP is a server side script language, which means all the code is executed on
the server and the result is usually a HTML page that the visitor see.

You can use PHP to generate graphics, pdf files and many other file formats.

PHP is one of the most used server side script language and have advantage
over visual basic (ASP), as it runs almost on any platform, while visual basic
work only on microsoft based servers (there are hacks to make a limited asp
work on other platforms too).

For more information about PHP, you can visit the main site, www.php.net
