Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2016-f4e73663f4
2016-05-07 11:36:53.842581
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : php
Product     : Fedora 24
Version     : 5.6.21
Release     : 1.fc24
URL         : https://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.
