PHP is a programming language. The fact that the conversion from souce to machine code goes through a couple of levels doesn't alter that fact that the source is converted ultimately to machine language and directs the operation of the processor. I'm of the opinion that effective programmers don't need to know what's under the hood in order to solve problems with a computer. It's obviously a dam' good thing, since 'under the hood' and the working of the engine don't seem to be as common knowledge as they once were.
