PHP attempts to make it easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages. PHP also offers built-in database integration for several commercial and non-commercial database management systems, so writing a database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts. The php package contains the module (often referred to as mod_php) which adds support for the PHP language to Apache HTTP Server. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: 07 Jan 2016, **PHP 5.6.17** **Core:** * Fixed bug php#66909 (configure fails utf8_to_mutf7 test).
