What all can you develop in PHP?

• Desktop applications PHP is probably not the
  very best language to create a desktop
  application with a graphical user interface, but
  if you know PHP very well, and would like to use
  some advanced PHP features in your client-side
  applications you can also use PHP-GTK to write
  such programs. You also have the ability to write
  cross-platform applications this way.
• Server-side scripting This is an important
  target field for PHP. You need three things to
  make this work. The PHP parser (CGI or server
  module), a webserver and a web browser. You need
  to run the webserver, with a connected PHP
  installation. You can access the PHP program
  output with a web browser, viewing the PHP page
  through the server. All these can run on your
  home machine if you are just experimenting with
  PHP programming.
• Command line scripting You can make a PHP script
  to run it without any server or browser. You only
  need the PHP parser to use it this way. This type
  of usage is ideal for scripts regularly executed
  using cron (on nix or Linux) or Task Scheduler
  (on Windows). These scripts can also be used for
  simple text processing tasks.
