Welcome to PHP Reprint from Intranet Design Magazine July 21, 2000	Early era web developers with dynamic ambitions had little more than server side includes in their toolbelts -- it was a dark era indeed.

The concept behind ASP, and all other embedded server-parsed languages, is premised upon embedding programming code within the HTML that makes up a web page. The web server interprets and executes this code, replacing the code with its results, and delivering the resulting web page to the browser. Popular though ASP became, many developers continued wanting for a more stable and less proprietary solution: enter PHP, an open-source server-parsed embedded scripting language.
