Taken directly from PHP's home, PHP. net, "PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly. "

PHP's a language which sits between a database server, such as MySQL, and communicates between that and HTML, which is what your browser reads to make a page up. For example, with a forum, you would generate most of the tables and stuff like that using HTML, and usernames and passwords would be stored on the database server. You use PHP to submit a user's information to the server and to check that it matches. This answer is a bit light on specifics but that's the gist of PHP.

Although it connects to databases very easily, which are often used on the web, really it has nothing more to do with DBs than that, it is very common indeed to use php without a database. Even if you want some persistance you don't need to use a database

True. I only really use it for database connections, though. It does have other uses, like sendmail() for one thing.

PHP is a complete programming language like others. It can do database connections and other tasks related with database transactions. Simply consider this forum, which is build with PHP and MySQL and the base of the forum is it's database, so the code used for this forum is dealing with database most of the time. PHP has other functions to like dealing with I/O operations [files,folders,network etc.] Just check out the PHP manual and one can see what PHP can do.

Yer, well it is a fair point as I suppose a very large % of web applications do have DB connectivity

Simple logic:
If you dont need any database connection for your site then create static HTML site, it will perform better than developing one using PHP.

Hu? That's just wrong, there are lots of reasons why you may want to use a technology more powerful than HTML. As php generates HTML server side then it is not nesc less performant than HTML especially with caching

OH! PHP can help you to use techniques like caching to reduce the load time of your site if your site is gettinglot of traffic. I missed this point.

PHP is a server-side scripting language usually written in an HTML context. PHP goes right into your Web pages, so there's no need for a special development environment or IDE. PHP interpreters are available on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.

What Is PHP?
The endless possibilities of the PHP scripting language and a great community of users has made it one of the most popular open-source languages. For all you people living outside the UNIX world, Open Source means it doesn't cost anything. You can use it as much as you want and where you want, and nobody will ever charge you thousands of dollars for licenses and support. Even though it was originally conceived as a set of macros to help coders maintain personal home pages, its name grew a lot more from its purpose. Since then, PHP's capabilities have been extended, taking it beyond a set of utilities to a full-featured programming language, capable of managing huge database-driven online environments.
