PHP is an HTML\-embedded scripting language. 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.

which adds support for the PHP language to Apache HTTP server.
