Re: PHP webform as an alternative for subfiles

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tim

Your assertion, for me, needs more to be said, more to say just what you 
mean - my first reaction was to ask, is it PHP vs Angular (or one of the 
other frameworks you list), absolutely? I did a little googling and 
found several places saying they serve different purposes. PHP the 
back-end, Angular the front-end. Yes - and I step into realms I've not 
visited very much - PHP __can__ be used for the presentation - but it 
doesn't have to be, it can be used to create REST APIs  - as I 
understand it, Angular, or whatever is the latest flavor-of-the-year, 
doesn't create the APIs, it consumes them.

Now maybe some other language is more suitable for the back-end - 
node.js comes to mind, as it uses JavaScript and the front-ends might, 
as well - I see Angular called AngularJS (is that a different animal or 
is it just a kind of rename?).

On a side note about this thread - it is maybe best if we break it off, 
some concern has been raised as to the validity of the original post. 
Nonetheless, the topic has moved into interesting territories.

Regards
Vern
