php (evolved from perl and the open-source answer to asp) is used to create dynamic web pages/sites.

PHP is used to add functionality to your website. Basically, when someone surfing the web loads a php page, the server goes through the page and runs the php commands before sending out the page to the web surfer.

this allows the PHP program to do things before the web surfer sees the webpage. The things that PHP does to the webpage depends on the commands you give it. You can output HTML code, text, manipulate files, and more to make your webpage do things that are specific to the user or the page.

For example, you can make a PHP program to say "HI" to people who have not been to your site and "BYE" to people who have already been to your site.
This program will sit within your webpage HTML code and the server changes the HTML before it is sent to the websurfer. To the person looking at the page, they will never see any PHP code. This is why it is so powerful.

    This is for all of you who have websites. There is an outrageous number of websites out there of all
    different types. I thought it would be interesting to see what kinds of websites everyone has here
    at trap17. So if you have a website (or more than one, not necessarily hosted by trap17), share what
    its about. What do you like to put on your site? Also, provide a link if you can. Even if you dont
    have a website but are planning on making one, share your thoughts and maybe you'll get some
    extra ideas. As for me, I currently do not have a site. I used to have one that....

    Theres tons of forum systems out there, so which one is your favorite? For me it all depends on the
    situation. SMF is my favorite php\MySQL forum system since it blows away any version of IPB,
    and is comparable to VBulletin, while still being incredibly stable, and also it's free. My
    favorite CGI\Perl board is YaBB 2, which is on the exact same level as SMF in terms of features
    (Y2 has some features SMF dosent, SMF has some Y2 dosent). So, whats your guy's favorite forum
    system? /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />....
