PHP is a programming and scripting language to create dynamic interactive websites. WordPressis written using PHP as the scripting language. Just like WordPress, PHP is also an Open Source. ... The PHP pre-processor then generates HTML output to be displayed on the user's browser screen.

You shouldn’t really prefer one over the other. Web languages are made to be used together. You must know HTML, and CSS and JavaScript are extremely important.

Choosing your first Language You can choose any language. if you can't decided here the guide : HTML is used to make web structure. CSS is used to give style or animate web JAVASCRIPT is used to make dynamic web (you can even make game) PHP is server side scripting language SQL is database manajemen in server side C++ is multiplatform OOP based programming language (you can make many app including Games) C# is more spesific (windows os) than C++ Java is used to build app that can run on any devices (including Android).

Nope, you do not have to use any of them. You can, but it is absolutely possible to make a website without them.

It’s very easy. Sololearn has separate tabs for each, or you can write in HTML, and put it like this: <body> <style> CSS code goes here </style> <script> JavaScript code goes here </style> </body> So it’s very easy to use them together.

Yes that is true for html css and JavaScript since they go hand in hand; however, php is used for form handling most of the time. So when you signup the html form will send the data to the php which will then put it in a table in sql. SQL is your database by the way.
