PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.
As quoted from w3cschools:
"PHP is a powerful server-side scripting language for creating dynamic and interactive websites.
PHP is the widely-used, free, and efficient alternative to competitors such as Microsoft's ASP. PHP is perfectly suited for Web development and can be embedded directly into the HTML code.
The PHP syntax is very similar to Perl and C. PHP is often used together with Apache (web server) on various operating systems. It also supports ISAPI and can be used with Microsoft's IIS on Windows."
Its a great way to make dynamic user log in pages, and such. A great place to start learning is:
