I am just learning php. My approach to learning is that I start analysing the code in a language I am more familiar with.
Hence, I am trying to replicate a PHP dashboard with PHP features like role management, session logging etc.
As I am halfway through it, I find that using ajax , though not primarily meant for it, I can talk to a server.
Using Http verbs, I can also make modifications.
Hence, can JavaScript and Ajax together act as a server side scripting language on its own?
My understanding is a server side scripting language just interacts with the server. As ajax does the same using JavaScript and http verbs . Can it essentially replace PHP?
I did a little research, and found server side scripting languages have their own pros like filtering, jQuery and Ajax can use less bandwidth etc.
But everything seems vauge.
Hoping to get a better understanding.
Thank you:)
