about: The advantages of PHP over HTML

Well, most readers probably understand HTML code.
At least, they will understand that HTML is the code that the web browser interprets to show the user a webpage.
PHP, stands for Pre-Hypertext Processor, is a server-side scripting language. This means that the client does not need to download any additional software, modules, or plugins for it to work like Macromedia Flash.
The output of PHP Code is HTML Code, which is then processed by the user's browser.
Usual usage of PHP Code is as a front-end to a MySQL Database, this lets news sites save their news, blog sites save their blogs, forum sites save their forums, and most sites to save their member login info.

To add PHP functionality to a base install of a webserver like apache, you just have to download the PHP files from http://www.php.net/
Also on http://www.php.net/, is full documentation including user comments for each function.

Your article looks more like "What is PHP?" instead of "PHP vs HTML".
Perhaps you should write an article on "PHP vs JSP" or "PHP vs ASP".
Good start for newbs...
