So from what i know , HTML/CSS will run faster?
What do you think is batter for interactive/enterprise site?Why?
I think PHP/MySQL with CSS would be a good combination for what you're looking for. If you want an interactive site utilizing the best tools, PHP can pretty much do anything. You're right though, HTML/CSS can run faster, however, that doesn't mean you can really squeeze out much from it compared to PHP.

Well yeah , i guess php can do much more, but for site i just need simple html/css , and for forums i would use php/mysql (myBB) forums.
If you want a dynamic site like this you can use PHP, Python, Ruby, ASP, Perl, Java and Perl. Of course there are more of them.
When building a website you need all of those skills, you need both Client side and sever side applications (php is server side) (HTML, CSS, JavaScript is client side)
Unless you want to build every page by hand you have to use an interactive language. Static pages are obviously run faster but you won't have any user interaction. That means no data can go from the user to you or vice-versa. That's the old internet. Smile

I guess that right , and many people are leaving 56k modems , although there are still some so isnt it batter to try to satifly all of them?
And one off-topic question , are there any good bridges (cms) to integrate with mybb?
ATM not I think. But I heard it is really simple to integrate MyBB in your site.
The languages that will be covered are HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, mySQL. First a brief and hopefully easy definition of each language.

HTML - The scaffolding and content of a site.

CSS - Where the content is placed and how it will appear (style).

JavaScript - Dynamic content vs Static content, i.e. it is what makes content change or move around.

PHP - Web page generation, processes that make the site do something like a calendar system, or email.

mySQL - A place to store content to be used later, i.e. comments, blog articles, etc.

HTML is called a markup language because it does not actually do anything, rather it tells the browser how to process a page. You might have heard of xHTML which is the same as HTML but strict. This means that in HTML where you could use a tag - a keyword surrounded by you could capitalize that keyword or make it lowercase. However, in xHTML the tag must be in lowercase. I.E. vs

CSS

While HTML is a series of tags delimiting page content, CSS acts as containers of HTML content. There are a few methods to specify what HTML content is contained by CSS.

PHP & mySQL

With the understanding of HTML/CSS/JavaScript it is possible to make interactive websites. But what if you want to be able to save content that is provided by a viewer of your site, i.e. a comment. The most basic use of PHP is to get content submitted from an HTML site and put it into a mySQL database.

Thanks.
