TPH’s way of learning PHP

I’m writing at this blog to teach other people PHP, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt explaining what PHP is.

PHP is a recursive acronym for Hypertext Preprocessor. The meaning of PHP might not tell you anything though. Have you ever wondered how you can write something in a textbox, press a button, and suddenly everybody can see what you wrote? How pages can constantly change even though you’re visiting the same address? In many cases, PHP is the reason for that.

PHP is a programming language you can use to make dynamic homepages. It can receive input from the user and make actions according to the input. It can store data, either in ordinary files, or in databases, for later use. I could go on about what you can do with PHP, but instead I’m going to say this - your imagination is (almost) the limit. You can even make images or flash animations with PHP.
