Hi

Which one do you feel comfortable in using, PHP or Html?

Thanks

You can't really compare them. HTML is a mark-up language, while PHP is a scripting language, which actually generates HTML.

You can't compare them:

PHP is a server side programming language that outputs HTML.
HTML is a markup language used to format text for display.

So I'm more comfortable with both of them. You have to be comfortable with HTML to understand what PHP is doing and knowing HTML will help you with your PHP programming.

Currently, I'd have to say HTML, but only because I do my server-side scripting in ColdFusion and ASP. PHP is on the "to learn" list.

Don't all server-side languages output HTML? That's how I thought it worked but I'm not really sure.

Yes, but many of the server-side languages can run as interpreted languages which runs through the terminal, or similar.

I'd say HTML it's simpler, but I'm learning PHP bit by bit :)

[chili5]

I just finished learning HTML so now I'm learning PHP and JavaScript. Mostly PHP right now but I have books for both of them and I found an incredible site to learn PHP from.

I'm more competent in PHP than HTML.

You could use PHP to output text without HTML. The only difference is, the text would all be on one line, with no formatting or anything... :D

That's how it would appear in a browser, but you can use the new line character to format the text in the console.
