Hello all master coders,

I have been doing my site exclusivley in html. What is the big differences bewteen php and html? What are the advantages/disadvantages? What, if any would be the penalty from going from an html site to a php site? Would this hurt the PR I have already gotten as well as the search results? Woud it appear to be a whole new site?

Please discuss.

Thanks in advance.

PR values would tank to zero if the existing pages currently have some PR values already. There are ways to get the server to process pages with .html extensions as PHP pages. PHP is helpful if you want to generate dynamic content on the fly from the server side. Someone with more server end configs experience can help you here--not my strength.

BTW, there's no link dropping with sigs allowed. Mods will remove self-promo links for commercial sites.

The browser will always see a page of HTML code.

What a PHP site does is use a script to dynamically build the page (of HTML code and content) on the server before sending it out.

Code: [copy]





Like the above Apache directive in a .htaccess file will force the Apache server to parse all htm/html files as if they had the extension of .php files.

So you don't start from the scratch as pointed out by Curt above.

Again as mentioned by g1smd, the browsers (including the Search Engine Robots) will see only the HTML code no matter what server side language the pages were coded with.
