In this case a new thread would have made sense, because it's a new
topic. But anyway.

Do you know what .php is? |
PHP is a server-side scripting language.

it. is it better or what? |
Apples and pears. Plain HTML files are static, that means the server
delivers them the way they are stored on the server. PHP is different,
for example it allows to generate HTML pages "on-the-fly" with content
from different sources (other files, remote resources, databases etc.).
You can nearly do whatever you want to build web applications, process
user submitted data, perform different actions dependent on user input,
transfer data from page to page etc. It's a whole new world.
BTW: Just because a web-resource ends with .html doesn't mean it's
static, there could be a full-blown application-server behind it. Names
and extensions are nothing in the web. If you see resources like
"foo.html" or "foobar.css" you don't know if they're static or generated
with PHP, ASP, Java, a precompiled program written in Pascal, C/C++ or
whatever. Nearly everything is possible in the WWW.
Just wanted to say that.
