What happens is that php script is executed by a script processor in the
server, and the output of the php script is delivered by the server as
html.

When you say "the source code was coming from a php program" do you mean
that you were viewing a php script with a web browser, or do you mean
that you were running a script through a php interpreter and viewing the
output?

Any php processing for web pages that is needed is generally carried out
in a process called from the main server process in the web server.
Normally when a .php file is requested, the webserver passes the file to
the php processor, and takes the output of the php processor and sends
that to the requesting client as html (unless another content type is
specified).

It's also possible for php to be embedded in html files, in which case
the same thing happens for html files.

I can't quite map your description of what you're doing and what you seem
to expect with my knowledge of how web servers work, this suggests that
either you're using the terminology in a way that I don't understand, or
possibly that your perception of what is happening is not what is
actually happening.
