PHP really is indispensable in the creation of a wordpress website?

Question

I was talking to a friend who is web developer and he told me that php is indispensable in creating a wordpress website. not just use HTML, CSS, JS?

Answer 1

To create sites in Wordpress PHP, it is essential. Wordpress is built with PHP, so all the features it offers depend on the language.

Obviously it also makes use of HTML, CSS and JS, but all the interaction the database, file inclusion, etc. is done with PHP.

Answer 2

You can create a basic website without PHP. But PHP allows for much greater functionality and is essential if you want to have members on your site (e.g. to allow people to login, submit stuff, etc.). It really depends on what you want to use the website for.

Basic PHP is fairly easy to pick up if you have experience with HTML and Javascript, so it might be worth doing the SoloLearn lessons or taking a look at some YouTube tutorials (like PHP academy) if you want to learn it.
