Title: Where should I be posting about PHP?
Post by: Lucidapogee on Sep 25, 2023, 08:31 PM
Maybe a PHP board would be good here.

Javascript/HTML/CSS are all limited without server side scripting.

PHP is beyond my skill-set. Perhaps Admin would have some suggestions? ...

Server side scripting dosen't have to be done in PHP. Ruby, Perl, Python, JavaScript...

If you can use Javascript or C++, then you can learn PHP easily.

So "unsticking".  Maybe let's make sure to give this a regular bump?
Sure, I will probably be wanting to post more about PHP.

Sure, then we can call it a server side scripting board. At any rate, it depends on the scope of what we're talking about. Languages like PHP are dedicated to server side scripting and work much differently. Your program is processed and the output is spit out all at once.

Without a distinction, we can also say that Blitz Basic or QB64 are also great at server side scripting. And they are. They can even interact with Javascript and SQL. It all depends on what you're making.

I think it's more common to see apache/php/sql/javascript as opposed to pyhon/javascript/etc.

Of course, we could also be talking about bulletin board system servers and ham radio packet networks..
