9.  PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language.  The PHP code is enclosed in special start and end processing instructions that allow you to jump into and out of "PHP mode."  PHP is executed on the server, generating HTML which is then sent to the client.  The client would receive the results of running that script, but would not know what the underlying code was.  http://gamemakeracademy.com/gmiranda/week1/week1.php http://gamemakeracademy.com/gmiranda/week1/week1.php  http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_intro.asp http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_intro.asp  http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/02/php_tutorial_for_beginners/ http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/02/php_tutorial_for_beginners/  http://php.net/manual/en/index.php http://php.net/manual/en/index.php
