Server-side scripting is a web server technology in which a user's request is fulfilled by running a script directly on the web server to generate dynamic HTML pages.
It is usually used to provide interactive web sites that interface to databases or other data stores. This is different from client-side scripting where scripts are run by the viewing web browser, usually in JavaScript.
The primary advantage to server-side scripting is the ability to highly customize the response based on the user's requirements, access rights, or queries into data stores.

server side scriting languages are programs that run a script or interpreted program on the web server and process output, then send it back to the server which sends it to your browser.
PHP is a common one, so is PERL and PYTHON.
For example, I'm writing a blog script in php. then the page index.php is requested from a browser, the web server will know to send it to the php executable, which will then execute the script (in this case, it will pull the appropriate data from the database, merge it into a template and send it back to the webserver), and that will be the page the user will see on their browser.

They are scripting languages that run on the web server (Python, PHP, ASP.Net, etc), as opposed to ones that run on the browser (i.e. JavaScript).
