These are the features of php, scripting languages, PHP is looking for the benefits of more than anything else, such as PHP vs ASP, etc.

PHP is very open source so you can literally program it to do whatever you want for web design which makes it very useful. A lot of scripts are available too. If you really want to make your own scripts, I suggest you check out tutorials. I know myhosting.com/forums has a lot under their Programming Section.

I have compiled a list of a few of the benefits of using PHP as your server side language below. If you can think of any more please post a comment so that we can add it to the list.
Visitor's Computer Workload

PHP greatly reduces the workload that your visitor's computer has to deal with when they visit your site. This is made possible because PHP relies on the server for all of its work. This speeds page load time and can ease your visitor's experience on your site.
Dynamic Content

One of the best things about PHP is the creation of dynamic content. This content comes from a database that resides on the server (thus helping with load time). Looks just like a normal page....but for a developer, it is much cooler.
Centralized Data

Since all data of the site now resides on the server you can use it more conveniently. You can streamline PHP development by creating functions and code that can be reused for many different situations. This can greatly improve your productivity and can even allow you to create template based sites that you can charge for a smaller fee than if you create a completely custom site. The uses of centralized data is unlimited.
Streamline Common Website Functions

PHP can help you easily streamline certain things that all sites require. This includes contact forms, image manipulation, file uploading....the list goes on. Most of the benefits of using PHP is for the developer, the client, and the visitors....so everyone wins.
