PHP
is server side language. In typical php web application development, you write
php files to read request payload, process the data, retrieve the data from
databases, transform it and send it back to the clients.
Once a
request come to the php file, server takes the php file, process the information
and convert the php snippet to respective html code and send back to the
browser.
For
example, as you see the contents of post_form.php file, it contains both html
and php code. When request comes to this php file, server executes the business
logic written in this php file and send the response back to the browser.
post_form.php
<form method = "POST">
<label for = "name">Enter your name:</label>
<input type = "text" name = "name"/><br />
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['name'])){
$my_name = $_POST['name'];
echo "Hello $my_name, very good morning!!!!!";
}
?>
