Which one - PHP or Html?

[Mirey86]

Hi

Which one do you feel comfortable in using, PHP or Html?

Thanks :talk:

I use both of course. If you want a static site then use only html but for dynamic sites you need both. Use both! PHP Is so simple.

Php took me a week to learn.. 3 days to learn the syntax 4 days to code a guest book from scratch.. Now making a Blog CMS. Good luck, learn both

well, you need HTML to use PHP anyway

Not true at all; you can write applications in php using the php cli to run them without ever touching html.

and its very forgiving if you stuff up the code a bit

I wouldn't say that...browsers are completely unforgiving if you mess up, creating problems ranging from a completely hosed layout, to a layout that only hoses on a browser you never tested it with.

I advice you php because PHP is dynamic and HTML is static.
But you can insert your html code in php too.

well if you are just wanting to make a simple website with text the html and css is what you need but if you want your website to have fuctions to it like let members join or post stuff them selfs then you will need php to do this and maybe mySQL

both do different things but can be used to gether :D

When it comes to PHP or (x)HTML, I think of it this way:

If it's a simple website (such as a minisite) that doesn't need any advanced features, I'll use just HTML.

If I do want advanced features, I first look to see if it can be accomplished with simple javascript first (depending on what those features are); if javascript won't do the trick, then I move on to PHP.

i feel comfortable working with html than php, html has dhtml, xhtml

today ir is very easy to just install wordpress and even in mini sites use all the power available by this cms. All in on seo plugin for example. It is just too simple.

one thing XHTML is based on HTML. and second thing HTML can't be depreciated,

all what you get through PHP ASP or ASP.net is all based on HTML only.

what you get is HTML as the final output.



saying HTML is obselete is like saying my kernel is obselete so i will only use my web browser.

Errr. No. Not really.

please explain.........................

XHTML is based on HTML

A web browser is not based on a kernel.

 

[anantshri]

A web browser is not based on a kernel.

OHK buddy,

you got my comment wrong way

it was comparing PHP and HTML not HTML and XHTML.

also in this case PHP does necessarily need HTML.

also web browser's are based on kernel.

otherwise you would have used standalone webbrowser's

 

[ncwdavid]

Depends on what the site is about. I like both but I feel nowadays that most sites are dynamic sites, not just plain HTML.

 

[wikes82]

that's like comparing LaTex (http://www.latex-project.org/) to C programming

 

[WeeksNevin]

Html ,

I think it is used more easily

You use php and html together. They are like peas and carrots. Since both perform different tasks, you cannot really compare them. Simply put, if you have a static (a page that never changes), then you don't need php.

There are a lot of people who use HTML, that don't use PHP. On the other hand, I doubt that there are too many people that use PHP that do not thoroughly understand HTML and CSS.

Html = Hyper Text Markup Language,
----------------
Basically this is what the end user sees. HTML displays content.

PHP = Hypertext Preprocessor
--------------------
A backend script that does all the back work.. echos in html
