PHP is a widely used, general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML to create dynamic web pages. Like Perl, PHP can also be used to manipulate data in a MySQL database.

If you're an advanced user, you can get started using PHP right away to create applications, send mail, or connect to your MySQL database.

You can run your scripts using either PHP 4 or PHP 5+ — but please note that you can use MySQL version 5+ only with PHP 5.3 or higher. Switch your PHP version or see supported functions now.

To learn more about PHP, see PHP help, consult the PHP Group web site, or find more PHP resources.

Please note that although we can help you troubleshoot configuration-specific issues related to PHP, we are unable to provide coding assistance or custom scripting.
