I don't think php is meant to be used for anything, per se, as in there's
no god given order that "thou shalt use php to do x".

But php was originally designed as a scripting language to sit behind a
web server and dynamically create html content. It has since morphed into
many other things, and it has many other uses, but I imagine that the
majority of php code that is executed on a daily basis is sitting behind
a web server generating (x)html pages and / or other content intended to
be accessed by means of a web browser and / or otherwise processing http
requests.

Let's assume that globally, on all computers that have some form of php
interpreter, a total of 3.5 * 10^13 php code statements are executed.
This is a manufactured figure, a guesstimate, if you have a better figure
for the number of php statements executed daily on a global basis, I'd
love to hear it, and how you arrived at it.[1]

Now, what proportion of that php code do you think is involved in
responding in some way to an http request, and what proportion of that php
code do you think is not involved in responding in some way to an http
request? Because I would guess that upwards of 90% of those 3.5 * 10^13
lines of php is involved in responding to an http request, and I would
happily state that I would consider that if over 90% of the php that
executes globally on a daily basis is executing in response to http
requests, then php is normally executed in a server environment in
response to an http request.

[1] That's the equivalent of 3.5 billion people (50% of the global
population) making 100 requests each, and each request causing 100 php
code statements to be executed.
