Thread: The difference between html and php

google w3schools

HTML is a language used to describe to a browser how to display text and other objects in a browser window. It is not a programming language. HTML works on a client computer (the system on which the page is being viewed).

PHP is a scripting language, and can be used to create web pages written in HTML. PHP runs on the server (the system from which the page comes), and is a full-fledged programming language.


Thanks !!!!

HTML is basically used to design a web page while PHP is used to create web pages which is made from HTML and it is also runs on the server.

HTML is basically the framework of the website. It is used to create the interface and design.
PHP is more on server-side scripting. It helps provide transactions and security.

I would suggest you to visit w3schools. You can read lots of good tutorials and resources for you to easily learn the basics of html and php .

In general, HTML controls the "look" of a web site (along with tools like CSS) while PHP and other programming tools are what is used to generate your content. For example, if you wanted to create a web site that allowed a user to select items from a catalog, HTML is what would control how the catalog items were presented, but PHP is what you would use to search your database, calculate prices, and decide what "just for you!" items the site might display. To use another analogy, HTML is kind of like what Font you select for writing a document, while PHP is the macro language you use for generating the document.

HTML and PHP can both be edited using a tool like Notepad. In fact, I often use tools like Notepad when I develop PHP pages.

Hi,

HTML is a markup language while PHP is a scripting language.

The output of PHP is usually in HTML code which the browser can then interpret

HTML codes are static and they are always the same every time they are opened while PHP files are dynamic and the output might not always be the same

HTML is very easy and forgiving of mistakes while PHP isn

HTML files are just like PHP however, your script can include both HTML and PHP coding. When someone goes to a website that has both PHP and HTML, the PHP is loaded in the background so to speak, so the surfer viewing the page only gets sent the HTML part in the browse

Hi,

HTML is language used in designing a website and PHP is a language used if you want your site to be more dynamic like online application form. PHP is difficult for SEO as it required script.
