Server-side Scripting

Server-side scripting refers to the process of executing scripts on a web server to generate dynamic web pages. Unlike client-side scripting, which runs on the user’s browser, server-side scripting allows for more complex and secure operations, such as database interactions and user authentication. Common server-side scripting languages include PHP, Python, and Ruby, which are used to process user requests, retrieve data from databases, and generate HTML content to be sent back to the client’s browser. Server-side scripting is essential for creating dynamic and interactive websites that can handle user input and deliver personalized content.
