PHP and or Javascript Can they be used the same way?
I noticed with javascript you can do things after the page has been rendered ie: making divs visible, rollovers, dropdowns. I was wondering is there a way to do this with php like if someone clicks a button you can have text or something appear, or do i have to use javascript for that?
Nope. PHP is a server-side script, and JavaScript is usually a client-side script. Which means, PHP runs on the server before it sends any information to the client, and the JavaScript runs on the client after it has received it's information from the server. PHP code isn't actually sent to the client, only the results of the executed PHP code are sent.
Although... you can have PHP that creates JavaScript that creates HTML...
