Hey, what are the advantages of encoding my webpage in PHP? How would I go about changing everything to PHP? I know the basics of, but what parts should i change?

I assume that the page in your sig is your page


You could use php to make the front news page
You could use php for the form there

Not much else that would be "better" to use php instead of html there

In a nutshell, if you don't know why you need PHP or which parts of a site should be done in PHP, you don't need it.

PHP is for dynamic content, ie you build a look and then fill a database with data then use PHP to render it using the look you program. This works well for highly dynamic sites like slashdot.
