Introducing PHPPHP is a hypertext pre-processor. In other words, you use it to create programs that run on a webserver in order to create html pages. The visitor to your website therefore never sees your source code, only the output -which can be embedded into a page. It's not an ideal first language - but again, its output can be available to everyone round the world as soon as it is uploaded to a web server. One very good thing about it is the ease with which it can be used to interrogate and process the data from a MySQL database - there is a bit of a learning curve to this, but once you get the hang of it, there will be no stopping you. What do you mean, there's no fun in databases? You can use a database to power your own simple chat program or content management system - or hold the data for different game levels and players...
