Vs
PHP is a scripting language, and can be used to create web
pages written in HTML.
PHP vs. HTML—what’s
the difference? To start, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a markup language,
and PHP is a server-side
scripting language. Where HTML is the backbone of all
web development and one of the most fundamental technologies used in front-end
web development, PHP scripts execute on the back-end, manipulating data on the
server and outputting content to a web page based on a user’s inputs. Together
they make dynamic websites possible.
What is PHP?
PHP is like the machinery behind a
dynamic website. PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a general
purpose scripting language that became the de facto server-side language of
choice for web developers since 1995.
Today, a majority of sites on the web run on PHP, due in large part to its
popularity as the language of choice for back-end of content management systems
(CMS) like WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla. Whether it’s for a simple blog or a
small business owner looking to set up a professional landing page, a CMS is
usually the quickest, cheapest way to set up an online presence, so PHP developers are often in high demand.
A PHP script will be linked to from an HTML file, which serves as the
foundation of a site. It’s also most commonly known as the P in the LAMP
software stack.
What is HTML?
HTML is the structure and backbone of
a website. HTML is one of the big three core components of the web, alongside
other front-end technologies CSS and JavaScript, and it plays a part in the
front-end code of nearly every website on the web. The general layout or way in
which content is displayed in a browser is described via HTML—all the static
structure, organization, and content.
HTML files use “tags” to tell a browser how to display specific pieces
of text, then all other dynamic aspects of a site can be embedded into that
file—e.g., a PHP script to add interactivity, server-side scripts that connect
the site to the database, and CSS files that add stylistic elements. These
files can all be linked out of the HTML file, making it like the backbone of
the site’s code.
