What is PHP?
PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. If you are new to PHP and want to get some idea of how it works, try the introductory tutorial. After that, check out the online manual, and the example archive sites and some of the other resources available in the links section.
Ever wondered how popular PHP is? see the Netcraft Survey.
PHP is a project of the Apache Software Foundation.

Automatic Mirror Select
[23-May-2003] In our ongoing battle to fight load and keep serving you content, whenever you perform a search on www.php.net, you will be redirected onto a nearby mirror ( determined using the Directi Ip-to-Country Database). You may experience a few quirks in the search until your mirrors have synced an up-to-date version of the site.
--------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
Country Detection
[04-May-2003] We are proud to introduce you the latest addition to our My PHP.net service. The PHP.net site and mirror sites now autodetect your country using the Directi Ip-to-Country Database. We use this information to present events in your country in bold letters on the frontpage, and to offer close mirror sites for downloads and your usual daily work.
--------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
My PHP.net
[24-Apr-2003] The PHP website and mirrors sites now have a ´My PHP.net´ page, which allows you to check what language settings you have, and enables you to set one which will override all the other detected parameters.
However, normally this is not needed, as we remember the language you used last time. Be sure to have cookies turned on for PHP.net to let this feature work!

Grant Program
[06-Mar-2003] php|architect, is proud to announce the creation of the php|architect Grant Program, whose goal is to provide financial support to best-of-breed PHP-related projects.
Participation in the program is open to all open-source projects that are related to PHP ( but not necessarily written in PHP). The program is accepting submissions now and will start distributing grants in June of 2003.
For more information, visit the program´s website.

Set your own language preference
[01-Mar-2003] Starting from today, your browser´s " Accept Language" setting is also honored on language sensitive pages on the php.net site. If you would like to get to the documentation page of echo for example, you can use the /echo shortcut on all mirror sites, if your browser is set to provide your language preference information to the server. This also makes the PHP error message links point to the documentation in your preferred language.
You can set your preferences under Edit/Preferences/Navigator/Languages in Mozilla, and under Tools/Internet Options/Languages in Internet Explorer. This will probably also enhance your web experience on sites providing translated content.
