can i use php instead of javascript?

[Esm3638]

I am using javascript currently at work on our webpages. We use javascript as external scripts. The problem is sometime the scripts are not found, even though the script has been found on hundreds of the previous web pages.

My question is, can i use php? If I can, can i use php as external scripts? How are external scripts imported into the html file?

Thanks for your help.

It depends on which functions you are using in Javascript. If you are using client-side functions then you still have to use Javascript, otherwise you can include php-scripts.

include ('map1/map2/file.php');
