That's not entirely true.
If you have PHP installed on your local system, you can use it as a
stand-alone scripting language, by invoking it from the commandline.
PHP can read local files for it's language code, or accept code from stdin
~ $ echo '<?php printf("Hello, world\n"); ?>' | php
Hello, world
PHP also has a built-in webserver "for application development purpose",
so a local installation of PHP does not require a separate "server with a
php interpreter installed" to run PHP code.
