PHP

Question

Why is PHP not lumped into web when you create a new project?

Answer 1

Because Web (HTML, CSS, JS) is front-end program, while PHP is back-end program. Front-end program runs on client side, back-end program runs on server side.

Answer 2

Thank you. I know that PHP is backend, but PHP is still needed to host a site, to serve up the html document. PHP is critical for websites, that is why I am interested in why was not included into web menu. Perhaps there should be a distinction on web front end, and back end. I know Javascript is both front end, and back end. I just don't want new users of PHP learning, and questioning the use of PHP.

Answer 3

Only SoloLearn developers can answer your question technically.

The same question can also be raised in regards to Node, why Node code is not bundled with a Web project. I think it might be the same reason why PHP wasn't bundled with Web project.

Answer 4

Thank you. That is a good point as well.
