PHP, which is an initialism for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is among the most popular web programming languages available out there. Any site or Internet application built on PHP will run on a given web server on the condition that a PHP module is installed, which makes the language really universal and it is not at all surprising that there are actually a few million web servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP sites hosted on them. What makes PHP preferred over HTML is the fact that it permits you to build a responsive website with loads of different features. A PHP-based community web portal, for example, will display unique content to each visitor irrespective of the fact that the URL will stay the same. In comparison, HTML websites are static and the content on the pages can be edited only manually. Just like any other software program, PHP has several versions and the version that was used whilst creating a particular website must be available on the web server so that the site can run faultlessly.
