Hi what are the main advantages of using PHP rather than HTML.
This isn't a proper question. PHP is a server-side scripting technology. In
other words, you can mix program code into your Web page and have it run on
the Web server every time a Web visitor requests a page. This is useful for
jobs like sending mail, updating databases, adding variable content to your
page.
Because PHP runs on the Web server, any data it receives from the Web
visitor must arrive using standard HTTP protocols, and any data it sends to
the visitor must be HTML.
So, the decision isn't HTML vs. PHP; it's HTML vs. HTMP augmented with PHP.
Microsoft, of course, would prever that you use its competing technology,
ASP.NET (or, if you insist, legacy ASP).
Is their any performace increases?
This depends on what you're doing and how well you write the PHP code.
Any browser realated problems etc?
thanks
Marcus!
Again, this depends on what you're doing and how well you write the PHP code.
