Like PHP, a JSP or Java Server Page file creates a website from the server, allowing more complicated functions than a basic HTML page. PHP and JSP files are text-based, so if your server generates a PHP file that should be displayed as a JSP, switching it over is easy. The browser displays a webpage based on the extension, so even if the code would be best displayed in JSP form, if the extension is PHP the browser displays it that way.
