PHP is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. It is used by millions of developers around the globe to create web applications and desktop apps. PHP was originally developed by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994 as a set of Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts to be used on his online resume. The early days of PHP were rough, but it has become one of the most widely used server-side scripting languages today. It is widely used for web development and can be embedded into HTML or other websites. It's also used in many popular frameworks like Laravel, CodeIgniter and Yii. A few of the most popular PHP Web Application open source libraries for developers are: Slim - PHP micro framework; wallabag - self hostable application for saving web pages; DVWA - Damn Vulnerable Web Application.
