PHP Code

PHP is a server side scripting language that is used to write dynamic websites, with functions that range from basic content management right through to shopping and transaction handling. Server side scripting means that the code is never shown to browsers, it is executed by the server and then code is outputted in xHTML or HTML format, which makes it an extremely secure language in terms of passwords and suchlike. This aspect is what makes it a great language to write payment and order processing systems in, because the underlying gateway and database information is never shown to the user.
