PHP
Versions
In
order to have a diverse knowledge of PHP, one must know to be aware
of its version. In total, PHP has two different versions, PHP 5 and
PHP7, that a developer or learner can install on the server on which
he/she is working. The older version is PHP 5 which is almost at the
end of his life. However, PHP 5.6 is the recent most version of PHP 5
version that does not have active support.

How
Does PHP Work?
Well,
we have already define PHP, i.e., it is a server-side language. But
do you have any idea what actually the “server-side” does or what
it actually mean? Probably not, right? Now, Server-side basically
refers to all that processing on a web server that happens before the
final output which is delivered to the target audience. Let’s
understand it better with an example; imagine someone visits your
WordPress site. Now, the main thing comes here, before processing any
file to a visitor, the server first runs the PHP code which consists
in the WordPress core or any plugins which you have installed on your
site. Once the server processing the code, it automatically delivers
the output of the PHP to the visitor. The final output comes in such
a way that a visitor can never see the PHP code that powers your
WordPress site.
