-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2016-8eb11666aa 2016-07-30 18:07:31.268746 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : php Product : Fedora 24 Version : 5.6.24 Release : 2.fc24 URL : http://www.php.net/ Summary : PHP scripting language for creating dynamic web sites Description : PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages. PHP also offers built-in database integration for several commercial and non-commercial database management systems, so writing a database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts.
The php package contains the module (often referred to as mod_php) which adds support for the PHP language to Apache HTTP Server.
