Should I Learn HTML Before PHP?

HTML is a markup language.

• HTML is a markup language.

• HTML is used to describe the structure and appearance of a document.

• HTML is not a programming language, but it can be used to include programming code.

• HTML is not case-sensitive.

The markup describes the structure and appearance of a document.

HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is a markup language that describes the structure and appearance of a document.

Markup languages are used by code generators to create documents. The HTML generator creates web pages. If you use a word processor like Microsoft Word or Apple Pages, you can see the corresponding markup:

• Headings are encased in , and so on tags.

• Paragraphs start with an indentation and end with two returns at the end of each paragraph (like “Enter”).

In addition to these structural elements, HTML also defines how text should be displayed—for example: it specifies whether text should be bold or italicized or both; whether numbers should be rendered as numerals (1) or words (one); which font family to use for headings; how large headings should be relative to body text; what color background image(s) should appear behind headings; etc.

PHP is a programming language in which scripts are executed on the server.

PHP is a server-side scripting language. In other words, PHP scripts are executed on the server. It is not a markup language, like HTML, but it can be used to create dynamic web pages.

PHP is not a programming language either: it's actually closer in its approach to Java than C or C++ (compare the syntax of "for" loops in PHP and Java). The main difference between PHP and Java is that the former uses dynamic typing while the latter uses static typing (although there are some features of both languages that make them more similar than different).

The syntax of PHP is based on C, Java, and Perl.

The syntax of PHP is based on C, Java, and Perl. It's a server-side scripting language designed for web development. It can be embedded in HTML files or run using a command line interface.

PHP is an open source programming language that’s available to anyone without charge under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The GPL grants you the freedom to use PHP on your own website as well as modify it; however, if you do make changes and share them with others then those changes must be made available under the same license terms.

PHP is generally fast for most tasks.

PHP is generally fast for most tasks. PHP is faster than HTML, which is pretty hard to believe, but it’s true! It can also be used as a CGI script or with Apache (or other web servers).

• PHP has its own database access layer called mySQL.

• This means that you don’t need to learn another programming language like SQL or Oracle to interact with databases.

• You can also use PostgreSQL via PDO (PHP Data Objects), MySQL via the MySQLi extension and Microsoft SQL Server via PDO-ODBC driver and Firebird via pdo_firebird extension.

This lets it be used for different tasks compared to HTML.

PHP is used for different tasks than HTML. While both are used to create web pages, PHP gives you the ability to embed logic into your websites—and that's where things get interesting.

PHP scripts allow you to receive information from users, process it and display a response right on the same page. You can also send emails, store data in databases and much more!

HTML is limited in comparison: It won't let you do any of this stuff making it incapable of handling anything other than basic layout functions like , etc...

It's best to learn HTML first before learning PHP because any errors in your markup will prevent PHP code from even being processed by the server, much less returned back to you as output.

• PHP is a scripting language that runs on the server side, meaning it's executed on the server and can be used to display content and interactive elements on web pages.

• PHP is generally fast for most tasks thanks to its use of compiled code (in contrast to interpreted languages like JavaScript).
