Is that a compiler, or the acutal programming language?

Its the compiler...how can you download a programming language? o.o!

You have to download PHP...
Metameta
Well yea, when you say is that the language or Compiler, most languages if you download the compiler it comes with the libraries and everything needed to run the program.

Both are right biggrin.gif Compilers generally come with enoguh libraries that you'll never need to download any more. But it is possible to download the libraries needed for a language (and then make your own compiler)

Well that's true, but depends on what your referring to. If its a file that ends in .php then that's called the source file and you can download C++ code that would have an extension of .cpp however php is an interpreted language and is also considered a script language, while C++ is a programming language
that compiles into an executable or into libraries (e.g. a dll).

Hope that clears some things up.
