JavaScript is client side. In plain English this means it's interpreted by the web browser, just like HTML. On the other hand PHP is server side, which means it's interpreted by the server. The server then creates HTML output which is sent over to the browser. The browser never sees any of the PHP code. That's why your host has to support PHP for you to use it. MySQL is a database system which also has to run on the server. So your host is fine.
