Asked here, answered here.

In a nutshell...
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. A scripting language for creating dynamic HTML
content. Static means that it is the same all the time and is "hard-coded" in
the HTML files. PHP is a scripting lanugage that allows content to be
"constructed" on the fly, dynamically - add a picture in a directory, PHP will
display it without having to re-write the HTML files. Need content based on
different parameters passed in from a form? PHP can pull information from files,
databases, images and much more. It is a pre-processor because before the
content is transmitted back to the browser, it processes the file and
dynamically generates the HTML code sent to the browser.

do simple google search for PHP FAQ or PHP howto and you will find all the
information needed.
