 * What's the difference between XML and HTML?**

Last updated Jan 1, 2004.

On the surface, XML and HTML look similar. Both use tags (such as or ) and attributes (such as align="left" or type="personal") to add information to the content. In fact, a carefully prepared HTML document can double as an XML document. The difference is that HTML is a well-defined set of elements and attributes. For example, the following is a well-formed XML document, but because it only uses tags that are defined in HTML, it's also an HTML document:

On the other hand, HTML has somewhat looser rules than XML, so some HTML documents are not well-formed XML documents. (See the next section.)

HP is a scripting language you can use on your "html" pages. Using the "php" extension on a file tells the server to look for php code in the file. So, if you want to use php, you have to have it end in .php (or a few other options). If you have no php code on the page there is no need to use .php on that page, but it doesn't really hurt anything if you do. Only possible thing I can think of is that the server might take a little more work because it's looking for something that's not there. :)
