PHP 7.4 ON UBUNTU SERVER 20.04

PHP is a server-side scripting language that is used to develop Static websites or Dynamic websites or Web applications. PHP stands for Hypertext Pre-processor, which earlier stood for Personal Home Pages. PHP scripts can only be interpreted on a server that has PHP installed. The client computers accessing the PHP scripts require a web browser only. Source: https://www.guru99.com/what-is-php-first-php-program.html
