Study Notes: Event Handling in JavaScript

💡 Easy English Concept Guide

PHP is a server-side language. When a user requests a page, the server runs PHP code, builds HTML dynamically, and sends it back to the browser.

1. Server-Side Execution Model

Unlike JavaScript, which is parsed by browser engines, PHP runs entirely on the host web server. When a client requests a `.php` page, the server executes the PHP engine, creates a plain HTML page, and returns it to the browser.

2. Basic PHP Rules and HTML Integration

<?php
// PHP statement blocks start with dynamic tags
$lectureTitle = "Introduction to PHP";
$studentAge = 21;
$isGraduated = false;

// Custom function block
function greetStudent($name) {
    return "Welcome back, " . htmlspecialchars($name) . "!";
}
?>

<!-- HTML Document displaying PHP processed data -->
<div class="p-6 bg-slate-50 border rounded-xl">
    <h1><?php echo $lectureTitle; ?></h1>
    <p><?php echo greetStudent("Ashish"); ?></p>
    <p>Age: <?php echo $studentAge; ?></p>
</div>

💡 Quick Revision Guide

Ensure your layouts adapt cleanly across responsive viewport widths. Double-check script sequences to verify that DOM selections happen after nodes are parsed by the browser.
