What code does this site use?

Question

Just a non agenda question out of pure curiosity wondering what script you use. Pokemon Master

Guess I can’t answer for sure: but every page on this website would have a PHP backbone, integrated with an SQL database management software. This all comes back to you in HTML. CSS and JavaScript (or one of its libraries like jQuery) would also be used along the way.

ENglish? Even though I'm studying computers and coding at uni that makes no sense!!

Hah, I didn’t think it was that bad. Not an expert myself, but:
SQL is a language for managing databases, like we would have here. PHP gets the data, and configures it into a webpage. HTML is basic markup that browsers can read. CSS and JavaScript in this context would mostly be for visuals, effects and some other interactions.
Again, I’m sort of guessing; but most of this stuff is standard, and I’d be surprised if this site wasn’t built with PHP at least.

The main PokemonDb site has a MySQL database that stores most of the information like Pokedex data and moves, then we use PHP programming to get the data from the database and display it in a good format.

The Q2A is installed like any other PHP script, by uploading the files and loading the site in a browser.

This is copy/pasted from the "about" section of the site, hopefully it helps:

There is very little specialist software required to make a website, most work is done in a text editor. This site uses the PHP programming language with a MySQL database, all hosted on an Nginx server.
PokéBase runs on an external application called Question2Answer for which I have recently taken over development.
Other software I use:
Sublime Text (text editor, for programming)
Git (version control software)
jQuery (a JavaScript library)
SASS (a CSS pre-processor)

You can right click and press View Page Source to see the code of any website. It's HTML I think, and PHP I guess? IDK, I just know HTML.

Yeah I pretty much figured it was PHP And SQL database but I wanted to know the rest with out having to look under the hood myself because that's not a good decision that 99.99 couldn't hurt the site but    then again...

Yeah it's HTML

"because that's not a good decision that 99.99 couldn't hurt the site"

Well Flappers or Fizz if one of you want to copy and paste your stuff to an answer I'll pick it you've given me everything I need I can figure out the rest.

Answer 1

As others said in the comments this is answered by the About page.

We use the PHP programming language and a MySQL database. For the Q&A section we use Question2Answer which is also made in PHP/MySQL.

Who’s “we”? It’s just you PM lol

Ha, true. For some reason saying "we" sounds better to me. Think of it like "me and my website".
