Thanks for your response
Who are "they"?
When you refer to "the" site, it leads me to think you're talking about the site you linked to which you said you built. If this is the case, I would hope you knew what you built it with. If you are refering to people in general using php to build entire sites, yes that is done all the time. It all depends on what the content of the site is. If you just want static pages that never change, use html. Php is designed more for dynamic content. Accessing databases and displaying information based on what the user inputs or who the user is. How do you think this forum (as well as your own) keeps track of users, posts etc.? It uses a database to store all of the information colected through html forms. The php code accesses the database and retrieves the information based on user input or which link is clicked. Pretty standard really. Once you get the hang of the basics you'll start to see some of the other ways to use it like using loops to build tables and dropdown menus etc.
Hope this helps.
