[Update] PHP v5.03

PHP v5.03


Overview :

PHP (recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor") is a
widely-used Open Source general-purpose scripting language that is
especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.
What distinguishes PHP from something like client-side JavaScript is
that the code is executed on the server. If you were to have a script
similar to the above on your server, the client would receive the
results of running that script, with no way of determining what the
underlying code may be. You can even configure your web server to
process all your HTML files with PHP, and then there's really no way
that users can tell what you have up your sleeve. The best things in
using PHP are that it is extremely simple for a newcomer, but offers
many advanced features for a professional programmer. Don't be afraid
reading the long list of PHP's features. You can jump in, in a short
time, and start writing simple scripts in a few hours.
