Answer 2

I see a lot saying php for server-side language.. couldn't java or python work for that side? is php better? sorry I'm beginner and I don't know much.

Answer 3

if you want to create dynamic web pages, php will be a good start for learning server side scripting.

html, php and sql go hand in hand for when creating web pages that connect to databases.

from there you can go on to learn java and learn to create android applications and other languages for different types of applications.

Answer 4

I still don't get it.. what about java and python as server languages?

Answer 5

I think you should decide what path you'd like to take first.

decide if you want to build websites or android apps or ios apps, or pc software or whatever and learn the required languages and master them. then I think you can call yourself a programmer.

there's too many languages to learn. just choose what you need to learn and master it.

Answer 6

You could use either as a server-side language. In fact, you can use most languages to do most things. But different languages have different tools for doing different jobs. PHP’s tools for web server work are very popular and well developed, so many people choose to use PHP.
