HTML is a markup language, it is used to tell the browsers how to display and what to display on any page. Even a php page uses html to do the same.

Then how does php help ?

Basically, php is used for many things like
talking to a website database
authentication for web pages
differentiating between various users/visitors on web page
uploading documents and pictures
payment integration to website
and many more..

hope that helps,
