PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a reflective programming language originally designed for producing dynamic Web pages.[1] PHP is used mainly in server-side scripting, but can be used from a command line interface or in standalone graphical applications. Textual User Interfaces can also be created using ncurses.
The sole implementation is produced by The PHP Group and released under the PHP License. It is considered to be free software by the Free Software Foundation[2]. This implementation serves to define a de facto standard for PHP, as there is no formal specification.

It is a programming language that allows web developers to create dynamic content that interacts with databases. PHP is basically used for developing web based software applications.
HP can be written as scripts that reside on the server and may produce HTML output that downloads to the web browser.
Dynamic content means that the content of the page is filled from a Datasource (for example a database).
Hope this helps.

Its a scripting (interpreted) language commonly used with a web server to produce web pages using external data sources eg mysql or other database, xml, other web pages.
Its a very powerful language yet very easy for a beginner.
