Web Application

A web application is software that runs in a web browser and is delivered over HTTP/HTTPS from a web server. PHP is the dominant server-side language for web applications, powering frameworks such as Laravel, Symfony, and WordPress. A web application may follow the traditional request/response cycle, use a Single Page Application or SPA pattern, or combine both with partial hydration. Unlike a website, a web application typically involves significant user interaction, business logic, authentication, and data persistence.
