I'm just starting to learn PHP. What is PHP actually used for? Does it only work on the backend, or can it also be effective on the frontend? Is it preferred in projects, and why?
What is PHP and how does the frontend/backend relationship work?

PHP was actually a language that excited me a lot when I first encountered it. Last month, when I did a small project on a friend's suggestion, I was looking into how to pull data from a database and dynamically display it on the page. That's when I experienced how PHP works on the backend—processing form data and instantly reflecting changing content on the page was incredible! While I usually stick to HTML/CSS/JS for the frontend, I’ve occasionally used PHP for simple templating, like avoiding repetitive data entry. In projects, especially database-driven ones, it’s my go-to because it’s easy to integrate and lets you quickly set up server-side logic.
