Only superficially. They have similar looking syntax, at first, but completely different libraries and purposes, which results in completely different code.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.

yes they are very alike. PHP was based on C too. It's even possible to compile your php-code to C to gain performance.

You can call PHP a C-influenced language, but it's so much that differs as well.
