PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. It shares syntax
characteristics with C, Java, and Perl. The primary objective behind
this language is to make a fast and easy-to-use scripting language for
dynamic web sites.

This installation is compatible with the official php package and
doesn't overwrite any stock files.

This script doesn't build mod_php. You can use php-fpm or built-in
development server.

Some directories and files will be created on the build file-system as
this is built:
