Where does PHP differ from other computer programs?

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.

How do you compile php code?

To compile PHP code, you do not use a traditional compiler like you would with languages such as C++ or Java. PHP is an interpreted language, meaning the code is executed directly by the PHP interpreter. To run PHP code, you need a web server with PHP installed, such as Apache or Nginx. The PHP interpreter reads the code, processes it, and generates the output dynamically.
