    3. To expand a bit on Barry's ".. other languages such PHP have their uses, but at the end of the day they all output in HTML. The Freepages servers don't provide PHP.." I'm just getting into PHP (for a non-Freepages site) and what I've learned explains why Freepages doesn't support it. PHP is a server-side scripting language (as opposed to client-side, such as javascript) and depends on writing to the server -- an obvious security issue, given so many Freepages users of various skill and knowledge levels. As with any programming language, it's easy to create a complete mess by accident. Among the uses Barry refers to is accessing and manipulating server-side databases. (Good for online marketing, but fraught with problems for the host server.) The output isn't necessarily all HTML, that's only the part the customer sees. -rt_/)
