Imagine two computers, a server (maybe with your website on it) and the computer of a visitor to your site. The visitor's computer is the "client", and your website is on the "server". Now, let's say that you want your website to process a form from the user/client, and store it in a database. The form downloaded to the client may have scripts to validate the form (make sure there are only numbers in the "credit card field", for example). This would be an example of "client side scripting". After the client submits the form to your server, the code/program/script that would parse the data from the form and store it in the database would be "server-side". Basically, if the code is running in the clients browser (or other client program), it's NOT server-side, and the rest of the code, for any online interface, would be server-side.

It is very secure part of coding. Server read languages like php and output information in form of html, in same time client side the code output as html.

Server side coding - simply code that is running and executing on server (for example by PHP). Server is then responsible for security, validation, ... Server side code is called backend.

The waiter(browser) delivers ur order to chef(server side code)..he prepares it and waiter(browser) delivers it to you.

code that expects data from a remote client through some interactive interface and sending a response to that remote client. an example is the code that writes your post here in sololearn. you give it the string of the question you want to ask from your phon and it updates on the server so all sololearners can see your question

"Server-side scripting is a technique used in web development which involves employing scripts on a web server which produce a response customized for each user's (client's) request to the website." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server-side_scripting in other words, server-side is the the behind the scenes, like checking if the user is logged. PHP, asp, Perl,Ruby are server side languages, different from Javascript/HTML/CSS which are client-side.

server side script decides what the server should send to your browser. for example did you entered your password correctly what you see after login etc...

Server side codes are codes that tell the site what to do. For example, when you submitted your post it got sent from your device to the server, the server side code then saved it, and displayed it for everyone else to see

codes written in any web server and in client side all pages will load from server and everything done on servers are called server side coding. so server will be more loaded in server side coding. HTML, CSS, javaScript and angularJS are popular for client side coding, with this we can make more dynamic web pages and all logic will be present in client side. client will be dependent on server only for fetching data. Except data all logic will be mostly in client side.

Server side coding is just simply code that is run on a host computer, or take it this way: A customer and a shop, A customer goes in the shop interacts with the sales man(client side scripting) and the manager of the shop manages all the salesmen (server side scripting). which means that code that interacts with you but processes on a different computer other than yours
