It's a scripting language since it requires an interpreter in order to work. Java is a mix but mainly a programming language because it can be a stand-alone application and an applet.

I'm going to say PHP itself is a scripting language, however like in the example before me, there are ways to make it become a programming language through applications such as roadsend.

But generally speaking, it comes down to the fact that PHP cannot usually be run without being interpreted. It is read, not compiled.

I say both. Scripting is also a programming language.
