When it comes to langauages (like php or html) dont think in terms of good or bad. Think in terms of functionality. You need to look up the uses and environments for php and html ... in otherwords do you hoemwork yourself!

actually i haven't understand your question properly... anyway i will try to explain you...\n\nyou better go for Java...since it give you a lot of scope and availabilty of large amount of API make it easier....\n\nor else just make a web application...hardly it will take 2 or 3 JSP pages thats all you are done...

You need to do that using a server script language, If you want to use it on a web site.\nCGI, PERL, PHP....

PHP (PHP HyperText Pre-processor) is a scripting language whose syntax is similar to C/C++.  HTML and PHP are two different worlds.  In order to run PHP, you need to use a server (Usually Linux/Unix...most hosting services are this way) that supports PHP (They all pretty much do).  Next, you must take some tutorials about PHP.  I recommend a good book, or just some web tutorials. http://www.w3schools.com is a good source for just about anything.  \n\nPHP is free and fairly simple to learn.  It is very powerful and stable.  PHP can dynamically generate your HTML if you want it to.  This is usually a good idea when displaying large numbers of records retrieved from a database (But that's in the future;-).  Using a simple tutorial, you should have a working PHP page in minutes.  Good Luck!

Joe, which internet are you living in?  Most pages dont' use asp or java servlets.  Most use PHP and MySql.  Or just Html, ajax, etc.\n\nI think the question was really, why do you need to the <html> tag at the begining of a html document.  It's to tell the computer how to render it.

There are a lot of php editors and it would be difficult to say which is best. Personaly, I use PHP a little in my programing career and I have been switching from one editor to another in my search for the best.\n\nCurrently I am using PSPad (http://www.pspad.com/en/). Apart from basic features syntax highlighting, it has got functions listing when starting letters of the function is typed followed by Ctrl+space. This way complete php function and arguments can be inserted to code. Also all the user defined functions and variable are displayed code explorer window. Best of all it is a FREEWARE. I think you may have to try this to know its power. If you know any other better editor, please post in comment, so I can switch to it. ;)

<Ruby on Rails> do you calling this a web programming,script???\nWell ASP is good,but it's little unpowerful\n\nPHP is better than ASP./More secure,more powerful,more faster and much more!/

I would use PHP, ASP, or Perl for web applications.\n\nVisual Basic would be ok for a software interface if that is the language you know.\n\nSome links for you:\nhttp://www.downloaddatabase.com/databasemanagement/asp-php-web-database-interface-builder.htm\nhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/phpdbi/\n\nhttp://www.databasejournal.com/features/php/article.php/3305401\nhttp://www.spsu.edu/cs/faculty/bbrown/papers/php3.html\n\nhttp://www.tutorial-web.com/asp/database/\nhttp://www.rcbowen.com/imho/cgi-database/index.html\n\nHope this helps.

For client/server work I use vb.net. For web work I use ColdFusion. They are both easy to learn and easy to use.

There are lots of various scripts in Internet.\nIf PHP is good for you. try the following links, just two of thousands:

for me HTML is only the basic structure of www. If you want to work with databases(if you want to have an on-line shop,you need a database to store customers info, book info and other info), you can use PHP. But if you want to add dynamically effects you can use Java Script, but ther are more languages for web development, here i say only a path. You can find more info at:\n\nSignature:\nI don't know but i want to know, i know but i want to know more

PHP is free and open source.  ASP is Microsoft's dynamic web page language and is written with vbscript.  PHP is better if you are looking to use MYSQL and Linux.  Also ASP is no longer in fashion with MS as ASP.NET is now the favored child.

First, let me clarify.  Some have said Javascript or VBScript.  These are client-side programming languages, in other words, they run on the viewer's computer.  They are very limited in what they can do.\n\nPHP, Java, VB, and ASP are all server-side.  That means they create html code dynamically and then send it to the viewer's computer.  It can include Javascript and VBscript along with the HTML.\n\nFor server-side languages, I prefer PHP hands down.  Nearly all dynamic sites require using a database, and PHP has native functions built in for handling database results.  PHP was designed for web site design from the start and with PHP 5 has become truly object-oriented.  It runs faster than Java, and is cross platform (unlike ASP, which only runs on Windows OS).\n\nIt is also open-source (read free).

First of all start simple, with HTML. Already you consider using JavaScript... be aware that using a ton of so called "cool" snippets will rather make your website look tacky than modern. \n\nI see you also consider using ASP. ASP or PHP are server-side scripting languages (apart from JavaScript, which is client-side). These languages are far more complex than JScript. Perhaps not so difficult to learn but definitely harder to implement (to run ASP script you need ActiveServer support, to run PHP Apache Server support). If you plan to use a data-driven web application you will also need database server support, such as MS SQL / mySQL. As useful and efficient as these scripts may be, I suggest avoiding them this time (since this is a simple school project). If you insist implementing them you will need web hosting which supports your requests (site will not work remotely! If you want it to run so you must install local server support... which is really difficult, trust me!).\n\nMy advice: use HTML + JavaScript. Do not go beyond this.\nUse a simple interface, with a layout table backbone, with background images in each row, insisting on curved shapes and metallic colors (2 or 3 max, avoiding powerful contrasts). Use only discrete JScripts, only to make your page look interesting, but not annoyingly desperate to catch your eye.\n\nGood luck!\n\nSome good web-hosts:\nhttp://www.hostiz.com\nhttp://www.budly.com\nhttp://www.lx.ro

HTML is HyperText Markup Language\nIt's a way of marking up text.  It is not a programming language.  HTML is the code behind most web pages. HTML is the authoring language used to create documents on the World Wide Web. HTML is a subset of SGML. HTML defines the structure and layout of a Web document by using a variety of tags and attributes. The correct structure for an HTML document starts with <HTML><HEAD>(enter here what document is about)<BODY> and ends with </BODY></HTML>. All the information you'd like to include in your Web page fits in between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags.\n\nThere are hundreds of other tags used to format and layout the information in a Web page. Tags are also used to specify hypertext links. \n\nOne thing to note is that HTML is no longer the standard for web development. XHTML is the standard.\n\nJavaScript is a scripting language that is most commonly known for creating interactivity on websites.   It really doesn't have anything to do with Java, even though they share 4 letters in common in their name. Javascript interacts with HTML source code, enabling Web developers to add dynamic content to their pages. JavaScript is supported by most browsers.  With the document object model (DOM), a web master can control every aspect of a web page, including adding and removing content.  It's actually really cool!\n\nThis Yahoo page uses XHTML, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and Javascript to do it's magic.  CSS is used to style the page.  Your browser interprets the XHTML, CSS and JavaScript and produces the cool page on your screen. These are know as "front-end" technologies.  The backend (on Yahoo! servers) uses PHP and databases.  Only the rendered code (the PHP writes the XHTML) is sent via the Internet to your computer.\n\nI hope that helps, and isn't "too much info"
