Answer 2

Never saw someone using PHP for games. It may be useful to store game's data, but it certainly not suitable for graphics.

Answer 3

Tnx Farhan I'll look that up and Mirielle that makes sense. I was actually thinking of how php could make a game on its own.

Answer 4

Php itself is not used for game development. However, it is used as an add on to store game data in databases like mysql. Such data include, player name, score, level and so. The actual game is build or programmed using javascript and HTML5 or other languages. I hope this helps.
