PHP (which stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a server-side scripting language. When a browser requests a PHP page from a PHP-enabled server, the server interprets the PHP code and sends the resulting HTML to the requesting browser. (The browser receives only HTML, not PHP code.) For more information on PHP, see the PHP pages, as described in HTML and Web technologies resources.
A block of PHP code begins with <? and ends with ?>. If View > Invisible Elements is selected, and Server Markup Tags is selected in Invisible Elements preferences, Dreamweaver displays a PHP icon in the Document window's Design view to mark the location of PHP code. Otherwise the code doesn't appear in the Design view. For more information about invisible elements, see About invisible elements.
