The advantage of PHP web sites?

I've seen a lot of PHP sites lately. I wonder... what are the advantages of PHP websites over HTML ones ?? :confused:

You can do serverside parsing, look at http://uk2.php.net/ for more info...

Seeming everyone links me to us4, I'll link you to uk2...

the end product of a php site is an html site.

but while clean html sites is static only changes when a some1 actually alters the file.

php websites are dynamic and can be created out from databases whose data can change over time by user interaction/developer.
so php websites can have forums,guestbooks.. basicly anything that can be interpreted as a collection of changeable data.

while an HTML page mostly will be a collection of static data

It saves up a LOT of time when updating or creating multiple pages where only the content (text, images) changes.
You may see it as a html page template though it is not entirely true. PHP can also do a lot of other things but all of them are about showing content (HTML does the same but is very limited in it).

Wow! Is PHP free? The problem is... I've never used PHP before... :(

oh yeh.

I recommend using firepages phpdev bundle to get started, tho.

ps. php.net has an excellent online manual as well.

They rock :thumbsup: I recommend you learn at least one server-side language.
