Php is a small (in terms of memory footprint) interpreted language. Php (running as an apache module) is kept in memory, but doesnt use anywhere as much memory as your typical tomcat jvm. Each page is processed separately - so you dont have the 'web-app' hanging around in memory.
You generally tend to get very page-centric coding, with little structure (as far as i'm aware there's no MVC solution like struts available). Php is easy to learn - it's much like c or javascript, but with no enforced typing. Because of this you get a lot of sloppy php code with huge security holes! Costs for php are low as you can run a few hundred/thousand sites on a basic server e.g.(512mb ram).... tomcat on my dev machine has 512mb allocated for half a dozen apps! If you want cheap hosting, get the basic dedicated linux server from uk2.net - ?30 per month.
