PHP is a Server-side HTML embedded scripting language. It means you can embed you PHP Code in HTML template.When ever Server finds <?php ?> , it always process the code and generate the HTML output. Example:How "Hello World" get displayed on browser. Consider "hello.php" contain <?php echo '<b>Hello World</b>'; ?> . "hello.php" is placed in your server root directory. 1. Client make a request to file. http://localhost/hello.php. Please notice local host may be replaced with your server URL like http://www.myworld.com/hello.php 2. Server receives the request and process "hello.php" . Hence , <b> Hello World</b> HTML output is generated. 3.Server return the output to client. 4.Client [Browser] receive and display the output Hence when we view source we never able to get the PHP Code.
