What actually happens after php interpreter parses code?

[blacktie524]

What actually happens in the background after php interpreter parses code that says, open a database connection, execute curl request, etc.?  So when a php script is run and the php interpreter parses the script and finds code that says open a database connection and perform a query, how does this actually happen? What goes on in the background that actually fulfills this request and performs the communication with the database?

Trolls do all the actual legwork.  They receive instructions for doing things like open db connection so they run to the db to fetch whatever info you ask (or throw information into it, etc...).  Nobody likes trolls, you see them stirring up shit on forums all the time, but we put up with them because they are vital for making the internet work.  Also they are kind of funny sometimes.

Sounds pretty accurate.
