As an example PHP is a "server side" language because all the work is done on the server, the server interprets a PHP script as code and executes it. PHP would then return HTML etc, HTML and javascript are "client side" languages because you're browser interprets (displays) it on your computer, hence you are the client and the site you visit is the server 
By the time the javascript runs, it is already separated (for the most part, keeping aside you can have ajax working too) from the server.
