One is dots per inch. To make it simple, ond dot might be made of many pixels depending on how high the resolution is set.

DPI usually refers to a printer. The printer is putting dots of ink on the paper, so the resolution is measured in Dots Per Inch
PPI usually refers to a monitor where there is a fixed pixel spacing, LCD, Plasma, DLP, etc. Her the resolution is measured in Pixels Per Inch.

DPI is dots per inch- ex. 400dpi, means that there are 400 dots in an inch of the image.
PPI is maybe pixel per inch
