PHP is a turing-complete server-side scripting language generally used to dynamically generate HTML pages in response to HTTP requests.
HTML is a Markup language, PHP is a programming (or scripting) language.
In a typical simple website, PHP is used to communicate with a database and output the results in a HTML or XML format:
Although theoretically you could use a language anywhere, PHP is a mainly a server side language. It can also be used for generating text, image or PDF files, file system operations, encryption, compression etc.
Although there are certainly differences in syntax, capabilities and behavior, most of the SQL syntax isn't database engine specific.
