Thanks David for the explanation. So PHP is the behind the curtain script whereas Java is in front. Cool.

So if someone went to a site that uses PHP and viewed the source they would not be able to see the codes as they can the Java correct?


Thanks for the link animgirl. The reason I asked is someone asked me why I took XML classes instead of HTML. All I could say was I was under the impression we have to learn it due to W3C moving to that in the future. Which the classes wanted us to be ready. The article pretty much jogged my memory way back when I 1st started the classes and the instructor made mention of the now verses the future.

Thanks

You are right with the php thing so far as say you had...

echo 'hello.';

All the visitor would see if they viewed source would be...

hello.

However you are confusing java with javascript. Since java is a program, pages with java applets in them, the code for the applet can't be seen. But javascript which is different to java as far as I remember it, can be seen if you view source.

Whee :P
