If you just started getting into web development and you know HTML and CSS, you might think you're all set. Maybe you even know Javascript. But you don't know PHP? What's that? NO PHP?!?!?!
Well here is why you SHOULD learn php...
If you go to some websites you see "website.com/php?url=home" well when you make website without php you need "website.com/index.html" This look very unprofessional. With the php?url=home is more professional. Also you can make it so you don't need to type anything but the website name. So you only need to do website.com and it'll show up on the correct page. Now you might be saying well if I upload my site and it has index.html it works without "/index.html". Well that might be true BUT what if you make other pages? Then when you link it in your index.html the address will change to like "website.com/about.html" but with php the ".html" will be gone forever.
Another example: with PHP you can link in separate documents. You can call upon documents and link it in your html or .php if you're using PHP to create your website.
So in conclusion use PHP. There are more benefits then this. I'm just scratching the surface here. I learned PHP way too late and I had to go back and recreate all thew websites using PHP and it worked so much smoother!
So trust me, learn PHP.
