The original HTML had forms. Forms still exist for HTML. A form can
specify that a different HTML file be shown when the form is submitted.
Between the the form submission and the showing of the second HTML file,
a script, called a CGI script, can be executed to process the form. And
that is how server-side languages such as PHP are executed. The original
CGI is inefficient. FastCGI is more efficient. Therefore PHP websites
execute PHP using FastCGI. Other servers such as Apache and IIS use
FastCGI or something very similar.
