Well before we proceed learning php, i want you to install SERVER at your PCs. So that you can test the code locally every time you learn something new.
What is Web Server?
A web server is a computer program that delivers (serves) content, such as web pages, using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), over the World Wide Web. The term web server can also refer to the computer or virtual machine running the program. In large commercial deployments, a server computer running a web server can be rack-mounted with other servers to operate a web farm.

What is PHP?
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a widely used, general-purpose scripting language that was originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. For this purpose, PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document. As a general-purpose programming language, PHP code is processed by an interpreter application in command-line mode performing desired operating system operations and producing program output on its standard output channel. It may also function as a graphical application. PHP is available as a processor for most modern web servers and as standalone interpreter on most operating systems and computing platforms.
Why PHP?
Gradually as we can see there is an increase in technology and its usage and if we look around our world we see that there is a drastic change from what we were around 5 – 10 years to now. Almost everyday most of us are habitual of visiting Social Networks like Facebook, Twitter etc for different reasons.

Few days back we had a requirement on how to detect iPhone and iPad so that we can divert the traffic to a different location. Here is a quick SERVER side code in PHP which can achieve this:
<?php
$isiPad = (bool) strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPad');
$isiPhone = (bool) strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPhone');
if($isiPad == true || $isiPhone == true) {
echo "Ipad - Iphone";
}
?>
You can test out the code by visiting: Link on your iPad or iPhone
$prefix = "" [, bool $more_entropy = false ]] )Generate a unique ID, this is available in version 4 and 5 of PHP.
Example Code from Reference Site:
<?php
/* A uniqid, like: 4b3403665fea6 */
printf("uniqid(): %s\r\n", uniqid());
/* We can also prefix the uniqid, this the same as
* doing:
*
* $uniqid = $prefix . uniqid();
* $uniqid = uniqid($prefix);
*/
printf("uniqid('php_'): %s\r\n", uniqid('php_'));
/* We can also activate the more_entropy parameter,
* which is required on some systems, like Cygwin.
* This makes uniqid()produce a value
* like: 4b340550242239.64159797
*/
printf("uniqid('', true): %s\r\n", uniqid('', true));
?>
