Parsing is the process where the php source code (.php, .php3, .php4 or
whatever) is converted into intermediate form of machine code which is
then run by the php. Parsing checks the syntax
of the source code, the validity of what is written.
to make this clear, read about the difference between a compiled and an
interpreted  program.
