What is a PHP File Type?

Typically, PHP files are only used by web developers who create or modify PHP files during web page development with extended functionality. However, the average user can download PHP files from .apos; a web page from .apos; help from .apos; a browser, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

The PHP code in the web page is parsed by a PHP engine on the web server, which dynamically generates HTML. The content of the Web page, which contains the HTML, is then sent to the user. Consequently, the user never sees the PHP code contained in the web page, even when viewing the source of the page.

What is a Default PHP File Name?
