PHP is a recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor". PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. Much more info can be found at PHP.net.

Yes, but note that in addition to PHP you will need a web server running on your PC, too. A very convenient and effective way to do this is to download and install Apachefriends.org's XAMPP, which is an open-source program which will install PHP, Apache web server, MySQL DBMS, and phpMyAdmin onto your PC.

For PHP code, wrap your text in [ php ] and [ /php ] tags (without the spaces. For text which you want to be indented and with a fixed-spaced font, but not color-coded, use the [ code ] and [ /code ] tags.

How can I create a CMS (Content Management System) with PHP?
How can I create a CMS (Content Management System) with PHP?
This is not a trivial project (unless done very poorly and with little to no consideration for security). Consider using one of the many open-source CMS's which are available. See http://www.opensourcecms.com/ for info on some of the many choices.
