What is the difference between a Doctor of Philosophy and a Professor?

DS and i were were discussing tonight and happened to mention one of his teachers who is referred to Drxx. DS asked if he had a Phd and i answered he did and that he was also Professor, but DS wondered why he wasn't called one. I wasn't sure so googled both, it seems a Professor has to be someone who teacher above secondary school but has the what looks like the same qualifications as a Doctor i.e Phd, MPhil etc

I'm now really unsure wether they are the same and if not what the difference is. DS's teacher has a Phd but works in a secondary school, is this why he can't use the title 'Professor'?

My feelings entirely. And (as I said in a previous thread), how many men with a PhD wouldn't use it?

I know loads. I also know medical. Drs that don't use their title outside of work.

Using Dr is you are teacher with a PhD is relevant.

Using Dr at the badminton club is not relevant....
