I know PhP, yet I was under the impression you could only use Github pages with Frontend technologies. I'm guess you just add the PhP script directly in the html in order to surpass this rule? My goal here is to make a basic contact form for my portfolio, and have some sort of validation, and authentication features as well.

It's strictly HTML, CSS, and JS only, no server side stuff available.
But there are some services to help you out, free and premimum. Formspress is one of them, Formkeep is another I know of.
I'm sure there are others, so shop around. Give on a shot, they will allow you to add a form to your Github pages website.
