- ezrast 6y agoPhel is a compiler, because its output is code. PHP is an interpreter, because its "output" is the effects of executing code. (edit: to the GP's point, PHP does contain a compiler within it, because it translates source to bytecode as part of execution, but that's an implementation detail. As a product it is strictly an interpreter)
