I'VE GOT YOUR $MONEY$ HONEY!
PHP is a Hypertext Pre Formatter.
When a browser requests a .php page from a server, the php engine will run first and evaluate any php code that resides in the page. I.e. if a page contains <? $var = 5; echo $var ?> the php engine will 'spit out' 5 in that place.
You can think of php as being CGI build right into your html pages.
