    PHP is personal hypertext processing and ASP: Application Server Page.. heheh i hope that's right

    And by the way, you use script to automate stuff. for example this forum use PHP script to enable you to posts and view your text as soon as you post it.

    True :) Just one correction. Active Server Pages, a web-scripting interface by Microsoft.

    I thought PHP and ASP are languages instead of scripts? Correct me if I'm wrong.

    A scripting language is different from a language itself in that scripting languages modify a piece of software where the software itself parses the script (instead of it being executed as machine code). In web terms, a server-side scripting language includes PHP, ASP, JSP, Perl, Ruby, et al. And a client-side scripting language may be JavaScript, CSS, and even HTML.

    Server-side scripts are executed on the server to modify a requested page's code before it is sent to a client (browser). They are parsed directly so the actual server-side script is not sent to the client.

    Client-side scripts modify a way a page looks or behaves on the browser. They are sent to the browser and then the browser decides how to use the script.

    You can use scripts in the <head> and <body> sections as long as you want to put the declarations anywhere you like. But the best way to use the script is to have an external script page then call it using this function for faster site spiderability.

    <script src="xxx.js"></script>
    PHP:
    PHP is a personal home page hypertext preprocessor, it is one of the most commonly used web development language because the requirements are very minimal, easy to learn, and most of all... it is free. It is powered by C and Perl language. ASP is Active Server Pages wherein it is powered by MSDN or microsoft development network. It uses different languages like VBscript, C#, and Java. ASP have a built-in programming interface where you can declare the attributes of each element but majority of ASP users are corporate offices because you must pay to buy ASP programs and you must be certified in order to use it compared to PHP.
