I’m not sure I’m following your first bit, SRS. This is a static html translation of what was a dynamic php site but this is an example of some of my old php stuff.

You should be able to “print” pretty much whatever you want on the web page with php and it doesn’t all have to be html. Of course frameworks could give a particular look and feel and certain standard looks for forums do seem to have evolved. Wordpress seems to make a lot of use of “themes” but again these largely seem to be php.


Php is server side code though and different technologies may be used on a web page. An otherwise “pure php” page would probably use JavaScript for its WYSIWIG editor. Another approach might use JSON (a sort of standard format for exchanging data), restrict php use to the backend data work and have the entire user front end in JavaScript, etc.


I think...
