First, let's make this clear: PHP isn't a computer program; it's a programming language that has a JIT compiler (the program named php.exe), but when taking about php you usually refer to the language and not the compiler exe from the language.

It differs from other "normal programs" (for example: firefox, audacity, your games, etc...) because it's a compiler: it inputs data (usually a text file) and output a exe, the program, that does what the input file told the exe to do.

PHP is most used in web cgi and it was it's original purpose (dynamic server-side pages), but is enabled for tools such as Windows Scripting Tool.

No. However, PHP must be on your computer to process the PHP commands. You will also need a web server program like Apache. A simple way to do this is to go to http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html and all the programs you need can be installed on your computer to run PHP, plus a MYSQL database, in case you want to really get into working with PHP. Once the PHP and Apache are installed you can access your PHP web pages through your browser from your Apache "localhost" directory after storing your new PHP files there.
