What is the difference between HTML and PHP?

[caniedojohn]

PHP files are just like HTML files, but they can include both HTML and PHP code. The PHP code is parsed (or executed) by the Web server when the page is accessed and the resulting output is written as HTML within the Web page. When a user accesses a PHP page, his Web browser only gets sent the HTML code, since the Web server has processed the PHP code in the background. Most PHP pages are processed so quickly that it does not noticeably slow down the loading of the Web page.

It's the difference between a mechanic vs a body repair shop.

One is aesthetic the other is the engine.

That's a great analogy.

Though I don't think that was the user's question.

I'm not sure MyBB Ghost knows what he is asking.

I believe OP originally thought that one extension was preferable to the other when it came to SEO.
