PHP is a Server Side scripting language.
This means that the server renders the page from the PHP when the page
is requested.

PS I would suggest getting a php book - you know those heavy things made
out of paper with words in.
Just about any of the php for dummies/ idiots / in 24 hours will give
you the basics and will be a useful reference whilst you try to get your
head around a portal system - good luck.
