I would like to know which is better? Im trying to get a website built but and im not sure if I should go with hmtl website.

Im looking for great graphic's but it seems that php is more costly why is that?
What makes PHP good?
#hmtl #php #website
  • You might want to try a blog (html). It is cheap and still looks good if you know what you're doing.

    If you need functionality for selling stuff a blog is not a good idea. You'll want a php run page or asp or something of that nature for a shopping cart.

    It's pretty simple

    HTML - for static pages
    PHP - for dynamic pages, however you can use php for static pages as well.

    PHP stands for PHP: hypertext preprocessor.

    Roughly speaking, the hypertext bit refers to HTML.

    In-short, PHP 'sits behind' HTML at the server level and (again, roughly speaking) processes various things and then outputs HTML.

    So it's not a case of HTML or PHP.

    And I'm not sure why you mention "great graphics" since this doesn't really relate to static vs dynamic sites, and also you suggest that php is more 'costly'. However PHP is free.

    So yeah, I think perhaps you're getting a little confused on some definitions and web technologies. Can you give some more specific examples/information on what you're looking at?

    I would like to know which is better?
    For what? What is your goal with that website? What will be the content?
    What do you want the website to do for you? WHY are you building the website? How does that webiste dit in your overall business plan?

    WHEN you have the answers for the questions above... you can think about irrelevant technical details as html vs. php.

    Till then, it's a useless mental exercise.
