PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of
its syntax is borrowed
from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique
PHP-specific features thrown in.
The goal of the language is to
allow web developers to write dynamically
generated pages quickly.

PHP/FI 2.0 is an early and no longer

is the successor to PHP/FI 2.0 and is a lot

generation of PHP, which uses the <ulink
