Ok, as a decision basis, could someone please explain PHP to me?

- what does PHP mean? (as you can see from this question, I really dont 
know anything about it :-)

- what is it for?

- what are the benefits? (besides from being 'hip', which doesn't count 
for me)

- what are the drawbacks?


 From my side, I have two opinions: basically I don't care wheter the 
website is made of HTML, Flash, Java, PHP, Perl, VisualBasic (ok, remove 
that one) as long as it looks cool, renders correct, isn't full-bloated, 
and is up to date.

OTOH, if I am to keep it up to date or if I should assist in maintaining 
it, it should be bare HTML, 'cause it's the only web language I'm able 
to read and write. I don't even know CSS (I've seen it, and I disliked 
it, because I did not understand it :-)


So, change it to PHP or CSS or both if you think it's good, but PLEASE 
do not handover the maintenance to me after a couple of weeks...

bye, Michael
