"PHP (recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor") is a widely-used Open Source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML."

What does that mean in plain English?

The source (code) is open (free) for anyone to use. Whereas other Scripting languages may have proprietary costs involved. PHP syntax draws upon C, Java, and Perl allowing it to run on a variety of platforms and work with many different databases. The easy to learn source code is designed for web development and can be inserted directly into your html page. The Source is then executed at the server, rather than downloaded and executed by the browser.

MySQL is the world's most popular open source database, recognized for its speed and reliability. MySQL AB, the company founded by the creators of the MySQL database, provides MySQL software development and related support and services."

A database is a structured collection of data and can be anything from a picture gallery to a shopping list, or even the information stored in a corporate network.

To work with the data in your database, you'll need a database management system such as MySQL. The MySQL database server is the world's most widely used open source database. Its ingenious software architecture makes it extremely fast and easy to customize.

Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April of 1996. The October 2004 Netcraft Web Server Survey found that more than 67% of the web sites on the Internet are using Apache, thus making it more widely used than all other web servers combined.
