 PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language.  The PHP code is enclosed in special start and end processing instructions that allow you to jump into and out of "PHP mode."  PHP is executed on the server, generating HTML which is then sent to the client.  The client would receive the results of running that script, but would not know what the underlying code was.    
