HTML-CSS

How do are the uses for HTML and CSS? And is good to venture into PHP?

What is the story about index files? Before i created an index file by coverting a text file index.txt for example to index.html. How do we do this today? What about PHP index.php?

What are resources for this?

Hi there!

HTML is used for structuring content on web pages, while CSS is used to style and layout that content. PHP is a server-side scripting language used for dynamic web development, such as interacting with databases.

Index files like index.html or index.php are the default landing pages for a website. Historically, you could convert a .txt file to index.html, but today, you simply create a file named index.html for static sites or index.php for dynamic sites. Web servers automatically serve these files when a user visits the site.

HTML is structuring content for web pages. What other languages are good for structuring web pages? What categories of Web languages are there?

What is a database? I have a forum but I only know a data-base is encrypted data, that your site base itself on. Through dynamic web development, do i have contact with encrypted data?

but today, you simply create a file named index.html for static sites or index.php for dynamic sites

Editadd: What is the definition of a static web site unlik dynamic web site?
Edit: I knew HTML and CSS well, but i need to look at it again.

Thank you
