Server Side Scripting

Thursday May 17, 2007
PHP is a form of server side scripting. Server side scripting means that all of the code is executed on the server before the data is passed to the user's browser. In the case of PHP this means that no PHP code ever reaches the user, it is instead executed and only the information it outputs is sent to the web browser.
