php网站开发技术简介-----外文翻译.doc

PHP(Hypertext Preprocessor) is awidely used,general-purpose scripting language that was originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. For this purpose, PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document. As a general-purpose programming language, PHP code is processed by an interpreter application in command-line mode performing desired operating system operations and producing program output on its standard output channel. It may also function as a graphical application. PHP is available as a processor for most modern web servers and as standalone interpreter on most operating systems and computing platforms.
PHP was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995 and has been in continuous development ever since. The main implementation of PHP is now produced by The PHP Group and serves as the de facto standard for PHP as there is no formal specification. PHP is free software released under the PHP License.
PHP（Hypertext Preprocessor）是一种在计算机上运行的脚本语言，主要用途是在于处理动态网页，也包含了命令行运行接口（command line interface），或者产生图形用户界面（GUI）程序。
PHP最早由Rasmus Lerdorf在1995年发明，而现在PHP的标准由PHP Group和开放源代码社区维护。PHP以PHP License作为许可协议，不过因为这个协议限制了PHP名称的使用，所以和开放源代码许可协议GPL不兼容。
PHP的应用范围相当广泛，尤其是在网页程序的开发上。一般来说PHP大多运行在网页服务器上，通过运行PHP代码来产生用户浏览的网页。PHP可以在多数的服务器和操作系统上运行，而且使用PHP完全是免费的。根据2007年4月的统计数据，PHP已经被安装在超过2000万个网站和100万台服务器上。
