PHP is a general purpose programming language aimed for fast script development, well suited for producing '''dynamic web pages'''. In this specific configuration PHP is executed on '''a remote server''' where it generates HTML pages then sent to a web browser. Users requesting web pages will receive them without any sign of server executed PHP code.

While fast web site development is PHP main goal, the language can be used to write scripts that don't need any server and are able to run on a local host from the command line. Such scripts are ideal for repetitive tasks, even complex ones, and can be scheduled through the operative system provided scheduling services. Local scripts do not require any web server, browser, database or other service but only need the PHP language parser.
