php is a server side language which allows you to create web pages with dynamic content, interact with databases and as php basically renders all the dynamic content as html at the user end it is better for using on pages than say javascript when it comes to getting content on search engines.
The best thing you can do is find a website which guides you through the basics of php and then build up your knowledge on a need to go basis.

PHP is a server side scripting language, which could be embedded in html to produce dynamic content. It is like javascript, though it has more advanced functions which javascript cannot achieve, and as I said, php is a server side scripting language. It means that after the server interprets the php code, the code will not appear in the source of the web page; whereas javascript is a client side scripting language, so the code appears in the source of the web page, so that the browser can execute it. You can find php tutorials here at w3schools: http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/DEfaULT.asP
