Main Topic: What is PHP? (7:15 pm) 
Scott Marlowe writes: 

PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, and is a server-side, 
cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is 
borrowed from C, Java and Perl with couple of unique PHP-specific features 
thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write 
dynamically generated pages quickly. 

PHP provides database connectivity via the following native and abstract 
APIs: Adabas D, Ingres, Oracle (OCI7 and OCI8), dBase, InterBase, Ovrimos, 
Empress, FrontBase, PostgreSQL, FilePro, mSQL, Solid, Hyperwave, Direct, 
MS-SQL, Sybase, IBM DB2, MySQL, Velocis, Informix, ODBC, Unix dbm

It also supports standard web protocols such as IMAP, SNMP, NNTP, POP3, 
including raw network sockets to "roll your own" protocols.

PHP can be installed as a module under Apache, AOLServer, netscape, fhttpd, 
phttpd, thttpd, Zeus, Roxen, or Pi3Web under Unix.  Under Windows operating 
systems, PHP can be used with Apache, IIS, Xitami, PWS, or OmniHTTPd.

A partial list of sites running on PHP can be found at
