Server-side ScriptingGuide
ASP and PHP - Server-side Scripting
HTML files can contain text, HTML tags, and scripts.
Server-side scripting is programming the behavior of the server. This is called server-side scripting or server scripting.
Client-side scripting is programming the behavior of the browser. (SeeJavaScript Beginner Tutorial).
Usually, when a browser requests an HTML file, the server returns this file, but if the file contains server-side scripts, then before the HTML file is returned to the browser as pure HTML, the scripts in the HTML file are executed first.
What can server scripts do?
- Dynamically edit, change, or add any content to web pages
- Respond to user requests or data submitted by HTML forms
- Access data or databases, and return results to the browser
- Customize pages for different users
- Improve web page security, so that your web page code cannot be viewed through the browser
Important note:Since the scripts are executed on the server, the browser can display server-side files without supporting scripts!
ASP and PHP
At Example, we demonstrate server-side scripting by using Active Server Pages (ASP) and Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP).
