Do you need JavaScript for PHP?
When it comes to PHP vs JavaScript for website development, the answer is incredibly straightforward – PHP is a server-side scripting language and JavaScript is a client-side scripting language. js enabled JavaScript to be applied to the server-side scripting as well.
Does JavaScript always need HTML?

Is JavaScript a front end?
JavaScript is used across the web development stack. That’s right: it’s both front end and backend.

What to do when PHP doesn’t work in HTML?

Try it – on most web servers this won’t work:
Can a PHP file be handled by a HTML file?
If you (really) want to have your .html files handled by the php module as well you have to add something similar for .html extensions. (there are other methods to tell the apache which extension maps to which mime type/handler. But FilesMatch / SetHandler is fine.)
