PHP doesn't do style so it won't replace CSS for you. It's a
programming language particularly designed for web usage. It's
designed to be embedded with html code (you may be more familiar with
ASP which works in a similar way) and to generate html code (although
you can have it output other text so you could dynamically generate a
style sheet for instance).
PHP is processed server-side so there's no compatibility issues with
browsers, just need a web host that will support it. Personally, I
like a mix of php for my programming and css for the style and I tend
not to use javascript. I tend to prefer keeping my scripting
server-side for simplicity and compatibility with browsers but you
don't get the control over the browser like you can get with
javascript.
