Line 3: '''PHP''' is a popular [[open-source]] [[programming language]] used primarily for developing [[server-side scripting\|server-side]] [[application software\|applications]] and dynamic web content, and more recently, other software. The name is a [[recursive acronym]] for "'''P'''HP: [[hypertext\|'''H'''ypertext]] [[preprocessor\|'''P'''reprocessor]]". This is actually a [[retronym]]; see [[#History\|history of PHP]]. Famous examples of PHP applications include [[~~hphBB~~phpBB]] and [[MediaWiki]], the software behind [[Wikipedia]]. The PHP model can be seen as an alternative to [[Microsoft]]'s [[ASP.NET]]/[[C_sharp\|C#]]/[[Visual Basic .NET\|VB.NET]] system, [[Macromedia]]'s [[Macromedia_ColdFusion\|ColdFusion]] system, [[Sun Microsystems]]' [[JavaServer Pages\|JSP]]/[[Java programming language\|Java]] system, and to the [[Common Gateway Interface\|CGI]]/[[Perl]] system. ==Overview==
