    PHP makes your content dynamic, allowing you to manipulate many things and use databases more easily. It runs on the server side, unlike HTML/CSS/Javascript. (Might wanna read the wikipedia page.)
    You would need a PHP server to start off with. If you don't have webhosting, you might want to consider installing a Apache server with PHP running such as XAMPP. And you might want to read some stuff on w3schools, there are some nice tutorials there for beginners.

    Hy,
    If you know HTML, PHP helps you to create dinamically the HTML code of your site pages. Meaning that with only a single PHP file you can manage and create multiple page for your site, depending on the URL adress and some conditions in the PHP file.
    Well, you can use php to store your data in a data base, and many other things. Try look on the net for Free PHP Course and start learning and test yourself the tutorials you'll find.

    In one sentence I'd say it is a weak-typed, procedural paradigm, cross platform and interpreted and (to an extent) compiled language. It's very high level which makes it excellent for web development. It has heavy influences from Perl and C.
