* The word PHP stands for HyPertext Preprocessor. PHP is an open source software and free to use. This is a server side scripting language which means codes written in php are executed on server side.
* All PHP code block starts with <?php and ends with ?>. You can also use <script language="php"> </script>
* If shorthand support is enabled on the server then you can start a PHP scripting block with <? and end with ?>. Short tag are enabled via the short_open_tag php.ini configuration file directive, or if php was configured with the --enable-short-tags option.
* Each code line in PHP must end with a semicolon (;). Semicolon differentiates between two instructions.
* In PHP, with echo or print command you can show output text.A php file can contain html tags just like a normal html file.
* Note that the closing tag of a PHP block at the end of a file is optional.
* Two types of commenting code in php script is available. For single line comment use "//". To comment a large block write code inside /* and */
