[UPHPU] Purpose behind PHP

[Nathan Lane]

Hi all,

Recently I have been working on a web application.  As a preference I have
chosen to use php to develop it.  It uses AJAX to retrieve data, and so I am
wondering to myself, if I can use ajax in an html page and retrieve data
that way, then aside from the backend pieces, is there a reason for me to
use php in my app?  Does anybody have an opinion or example of when and
where they used php in an ajaxian application?
