PHP

Server-side language used by WordPress

What is PHP?

PHP is a server-side scripting language that processes website logic before content is shown to users. It is used for dynamic content generation, database work, and handling forms. PHP is the core language of WordPress, WooCommerce, and many plugins and themes, enabling anything from simple forms to complex booking systems.

Why It Matters

PHP powers WordPress functionality—generating pages, storing content, and communicating with databases. It’s essential for custom features, themes, and plugins. Good PHP code helps keep WordPress projects stable, secure, and maintainable.
