Which one - PHP or Html?

[Scripter]

Well html is basic knowledge before getting to know more in depth with php and then further more complicated C++

HTML is a markup language, it defines the structure of information.
PHP is a scripting / programming language.

The question was which one you prefer to use...

I personally most of the time use php.

I prefer HTML, it was easy to use and I was more familiar
using this

If I need dynamic content and the site's content is updated often, then I'd use a CMS made in PHP. If I make custom CMS sites, I use PHP still but with the .html extension.

These are my exact thoughts. I am comfortable with both of them, and use them according to the situation.

Well............I can code in HTML easily rather than PHP coz i am not capable to write code in PHP.One thing is that HTML is static language and PHP is dynamic language.This is the biggest difference between two languages.

If you take a page that was coded in "Compliant HTML", and give it a .php suffix, it works as if nothing had changed. Giving a page a .php suffix thus making it into a PHP page has no effect and works exactly as any static HTML page does. You could then introduce simple PHP Functions such as a "Footer Include" for example and thus bit by bit acquire some PHP skills.
