Can one use 2 different frameworks, 1 for client, 1 for server?

Question

~ Can one use, for example, a JavaScript front end framework, then a seperate php backend framework?

~ and if so, which would be the best frameworks for each, for optimum capabilities

~ and if not, then what route should I take?

~ Also could I also use SQL in the bunch?

Thank you with all my heart, you all make this community what it is !

Answer 1

That's pretty much how it works. For example, I'm making a website (for free ;_;) with ASP.NET backend and jQuery frontend. What I'm doing is basically writing full frontend page, then adding some extra code to show where backend has to put what, wire up the addresses to certain pages and it's done.

SQL is pretty much necesarry if you are going to save any data server-side.
