Basic structure of an HTML document includes the doctype declaration, head section for metadata, and body section for content.

PHP

PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is an interpreted, object-oriented scripting language designed for server-side execution.
PHP enables the creation of dynamic web applications that generate content in response to user requests.
Created by Rasmus Lerdorf, PHP first appeared in 1995, with version 8.3.10 launched on November 23, 2023.
