PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. It shares syntax characteristics with C, Java, and Perl. The primary objective behind this language is to make a fast and easy-to-use scripting language for dynamic web sites. This installation is compatible with the official php package and doesn't overwrite any stock files. This script doesn't build mod_php. You can use php-fpm or built-in development server.
