Question What can PHP do that JavaScript cannot?

[Adi Sharma]

Hello All, I am exploring some new things which I want to develop a website and I am confused to choose between PHP and Javascript. I have talked to my friends most of them suggest PHP is better than javascript but I am confused about what can PHP do that JavaScript cannot? Can anyone tell me which one is better for web development?

PHP is a server-side scripting language. JavaScript is run client-side. You can for example not do anything database related in JavaScript. Even if there where database libraries are written for JavaScript they would be of no use because your server cannot trust database queries done by the client.
