HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language)

HTML is a markup language used as a universal code to produce websites. The purpose of a web browser, like Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome, is to read the HTML documents and display them as visual web pages.

The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of the web page from its structure using tables and divs to visual aspects such as displaying images, font colours and sizes. HTML can also be used to include Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define the appearance and layout of text and other elements of the page.

PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor)

PHP is a widely used scripting language that is used for web development to produce dynamic web pages. For this purpose, PHP code is used alongside HTML source code and interpreted by a web server which generates the web page.

PHP can be used to manipulate data such as customer details taken from a website before storing into a database. This makes it a useful tool for creating such things as online shopping carts, blog sites, dynamic news pages, login areas etc.
