PHP is similar to an actual programming language (like c++) but for web development. It's server-side code, meaning that (assuming the web server functions correctly) no one visibly see the code, like HTML.

It is, like you said, very commonly used in forum-type features because it can easily be used with databases, especially MySQL. It actually isn't a very hard language to learn, if you already know other languages. I'm actually making a site right now that will distribute tutorial videos demonstrating various computer info, one topic being PHP. I'm not sure of the domain right now... I'm thinking about ordering videonubs.com :). The site should be up within the month, then I can release the link.

Its a server side scripting language. It makes the page you view on a server if its got PHP.

<?php

echo "Hiya";

?>

Thats PHP ^

PHP-Hypertext Preprocessor Language.
Everyone here has told you what it is but didn't really tell you the name ;)

Small example

Code

<php? 
echo "This is just what it says but it is much simpler to just use html for basic text output"; 
 
//This is a comment wich will have no effect on the output 
 
$Var="Variable"; 
//this is a Variable that i have created you can simply echo $var wich will output the text "Variable" (variables are very common in the phplanguage) 
?>

That is 2 simple basic things you will learn when starting php.
