Max Payne Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 (edited) Whats better? Not for creating a website, but making your browser perform functions. I think PHP, it allows you to store cookies, and gives you more freedom. Edited December 19, 2007 by Max Payne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 PHP is a web programming language. HTML is markup language which browsers interpret and format a page based on the tags used. All websites are written in HTML regardless of any programming languages used for the backend. You need to learn the difference before coding stuff by yourself. Otherwise you'll get yourself confused. And you need to know HTML before you can start with any programming language, not just PHP. You can't make a browser perform any functions using HTML by itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Payne Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 I was thinking about that, but it was too late. I'm a pretty good PHP coder. What i don't get is why some webmasters that make sites that only use HTML can take it. When I make a site, I make a file called header.php, then require it into all of the other pages. Before i knew PHP, when I wanted to change a link on one page, I had to change them on all of the pages. I'm sure you understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Yeah that's what I had to do and realised it was a massive waste of time. So I began teaching myself PHP, that was about 4 years ago, so obviously I'm pretty adept now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 PHP is very useful for dynamic or efficient functions, I am not too experienced with it but I am planning on using it for navigation, downloads, and other things on my site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Ah, I know how much I miss it now, I had to make an e-Portfolio at school, I totally wrecked it because I couldn't use PHP for it. Without PHP, it gets very complicated after it all gets big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 It'd be like comparing a breakfast food with a desert, it doesn't really work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
