    HTML or PHP???

    Hi folks,

    I've just signed up to a new x10 site and was wondering what's the best type of code for delivering my site? I'm looking to set the site up as a blog for myself and the missus, along with family photo pages, plus a forum...

    I've experience of coding raw HTML, and have dabbled with XML, but have no knowledge of PHP.

    Any recommendations for good free website templates would also be appreciated. :-)

    PHP is a good lenguage for scripting, quite simple, a little "ugly" but very very used.
    If you want to make your interactive website you must know or learn it.

    Python is great, but for the basic sort of stuff you want to do I think there are templates for these things in PHP that you can customise without knowing too much about scripting. If you want to learn a good scripting language, then Python is probably one of the easiest to start with as well as being very powerful.

    If you want your site to do anything, PHP is the easiest way to go.

    Ever since i learned PHP, i think it is the easiest way to create and maintain a website. you should change your PHP configuration in X10hosting.com/account to allow for less restrictions in your PHP code.

    PHP for interactive or coded sites, CSS for designed sites, HTML never.
    Simple guide.

    Write your pages in HTML, save them as .php (the html will work)
    Then you can learn php and gradually insert capabilities as your expertise improves, without having downtime.

    @Quwenq, you need an understanding of html, after all, CSS must be applied to something! Saying "HTML - never" simply doesn't make sense, even if it is generated by php etc.

    hell no! it is not html OR php, you have to do it both or just html, because php just creates html!
