PHP is server-side (at least in your case and in most cases in general)
scripting engine used mostly to generate dynamic HTML web-pages.
If you know what HTML is, then you probably also know that it's
not possible using HTML only or even HTML with JavaScript to
interact with server data (eg. to create a guestbook, forum, or
even to place some data from a database in a HTML document). PHP
(and other server-side solutions) aid in this task.
They do not have much in common with SQL (many dynamic web-pages
use SQL to interact with databases, but this does not mean that
learning PHP helps with learning SQL or vice versa).
