PHP4 is an HTML-embeddable scripting language. PHP offers built-in database
integration for several commercial and non-commercial database management
systems, so writing a database-enabled script with PHP is fairly simple. The
most common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts.
This package contains a standalone (CGI) version of php. You must also
install libphp_common.
If you need apache module support, you also need to install the mod_php
package.
