Okay… PHP…
Pre Hypertext Processing
Unlike HTMl which is handled by your browser, PHP and ASP (another language in the many) are Server-Side languages. Being a server side language… You can have many pages be dynamic… Such as databses and the such… Where information can change by the use of forms or buttons clicked.
A good place to start can be http://www.php.net/ The introduction manual isn’t too awfully bad… Not very picture oriented… But the language itself isn’t very photogenic either so what do you expect… hehe…
Then just do a search on google for any more possible links that you may need.

PHP Manual:** PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. This confuses many people because the first word of the acronym is the acronym. This type of acronym is called a recursive acronym. The curious can visit Free On-Line Dictionary of Computing for more information on recursive acronyms.**
FYI: It was named PHP because before it means Personal Home Page! When PHP gained popularity and was widely used by developers, it was renamed to Hypertext Preprocessor! 
Also for the best tutorials and info about PHP go to the official website at www.php.net!

Yeah, I knew that… I 've got the O’Reilly book on PHP… on the introduction, Rasmus Lerdorf explains how it was named and its histoy and stuff, it’s pretty cool 
Thankyou all:) …but still have a question
how is php used the most , I mean whats the most relevant things yoiu cando that other weblenguages cant do…
(-:
These forums use PHP, and it’s a good example of PHP usage i’d say
When you post anything, whatever you input is sent to a page where PHP processes your posts and stores it in a database. When you view this thread, PHP processes your request and pulls the desired posts out of the database and prints it out
Thankyou ahamed !!
