Description:

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it
easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages. PHP
also offers built-in database integration for several commercial and
non-commercial database management systems, so writing a
database-enabled web page with PHP is fairly simple. The most common
use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts. The
mod_php module enables the Apache web server to understand and process
the embedded PHP language in web pages.

This package contains PHP version 3.0. If you use applications which
specifically rely on PHP/FI (PHP v2 and earlier), you should instead
install the PHP/FI module contained in the phpfi package. If you're
just starting with PHP, you should install this package. You'll also
need to install the Apache web server.
