html vs. php

[pololo]

Hello all master coders, Cool

I have been doing my site exclusivley in html. What is the big differences bewteen php and html? What are the advantages/disadvantages? What, if any would be the penalty from going from an html site to a php site? Would this hurt the PR I have already gotten as well as the search results? Woud it appear to be a whole new site?

Please discuss.

Thanks in advance.

HTML is static, PHP is dynamic. PHP allows you to use a database as well as programming in things that will change the page depending on what the user does.

HTML with Javascript can do some dynamic things but is not secure anyone can change the code so it is not good for e commerce or database activities.

An html page has a different extension than a PHP page. so it is considered a different page. If you replace page1.htm with page1.php you will lose the PR and all SEO that you did on the html page. You can use htaccess to get around this though.

I probably created more questions for you than I answered but this is a start.

Html is client side language it works in client pc. and php is server side language.it's execute in server side. it's way more flexible you can put html code with it.
