From Gentoo Wiki
PHP is a general-purpose server-side scripting language to produce dynamic web pages. It began development in 1993 and was first officially released in 1995. By the turn of the millennium, PHP began to displace Perl as the preferred "P" in the LAMP stack before being challenged in turn by Python. Even so, PHP remains a popular server-side scripting language for dynamic websites and web applications, perhaps in no small part due to the popularity of the WordPress blogging platform.
