% I am not new to programming, just to scripting languages. I have seen that Perl has 
some high advanced sintaxes for string processing, for example, but I don't know if 
the same level can also be achieved in PHP...?

PHP is quite perl-ish, and supports some extended functions borrowed
straight from Perl.

% As for the script below, could I run it inside a (my) browser? This could be in any 
browser?

A browser won't run a php script; in a web surfing context it's the
server that runs it, just like a mod_perl script.

Just like Perl, though, you can

  php /path/to/myscript.php

from the command line (if you built php to not only install a web server
module but also generate a standalone executable) and away you go.  You
might want to use -q to turn off the http header output.

So the short answer is "no", but don't let it throw you.
