PHP is a recursive acronym, which stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor". To quote from php.net : "PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML."

What this means in simple English is that it's useful in the development of interactive websites, often incorporating MySQL databases. Many web hosting servers have PHP and MySQL as part of their hosting packages, making their use effectively free.

If we think of what you see in your browser as the "front end", then PHP operates at the "back end" where the on-line database is stored. If you really want to know more about the technical stuff, there is an introductory tutorial.

So, we can create multi-user software, with powerful database functions built in.  End users can access the software via their web browsers and it makes no difference whether they use PCs or Macs.

Using interactive website techniques. we can to set up applications like theatre or restaurant bookings, on-line ordering and accounting - or anything where we need to process a request against a database and respond to the user immediately.

Virtually any software application which you can imagine can now be created inthis manner.

And it doesn't really matter whether this is over the internet or on an intranet (your organisation's own network).

This solves a long standing problem by opening up easy access from multiple branches across town or across the world!  Excellent security features allow you to restrict access to people with appropriate authority.
