Hi.

A snippet from php.net, the link ajaxrand posted.
PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.

For laypeople, it's a programming language that's for websites.

Before you see the webpage, PHP gets run, and the output is your html file which you view.
Basically it makes webpages more dynamic, e.g. most forums use PHP to display all the topics and such.

PHP is basically used in creating 'dynamic websites'. A Dynamic website is one where a database is used to store limitless data.

For instance, a gaming website like freeonlinegames.com displays 100s of games using max 2-3 pages.

And how is this possible?
