I confess that I haven't used PHP so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You're pretty much on the ball with your description. I might summarize it as:
PHP (PHP: Hypertext Processor) is a templating language with a
significant enough standard library for aspirations of general-purpose
scripting. Python is a general-purpose scripting language with
numerous templating languages, let alone the terrifyingly large
standard library. ;)
Yes, PHP has templating language syntaxes like Smarty, but you're
running a template parser within another template parser...
A fairly common sarcastic quote is:
"You aren't a real Python programmer until you write your own
[coroutine framework | web framework | templating language | ...]!"
I've done all three, and this probably does not make me a good person.
;) The coroutine framework was a hack to see how they work through
experimentation, but I'm quite proud of the web framework and
templating system! :D
