| I am trying to understand whether HMTL is still needed when PHP is used
in a website design. I hired a group of webdesigners who created a
database using MySQL and PHP. But they have not used HTML anywhere on
the site. is this correct. Should the information not be converted to
HTML in order to appear on the browser? Any help I can get will really
be apprecaied. Thanks.

So, have you seen the site?

If they can show you the site, you can look if there's any html in it.
Unless it's just plain text, there should definitely be some HTML in
the browser. This will most likely be generated by the PHP scripts
though, so although they used HTML, they haven't written any "HTML
pages". Did they tell you there was no HTML in it, or did you just
gather that from lack of .html extensions on filenames?

php is converted to html in the browser. So the viewer sees html, but the
code used to make the page is in php

I'm sure you mean 'php generates html on the server' :-)
(unless I'm missing something, php is a server side language)

Yup.
For instance like so:
<?php
print ('<h1>' . $pagetitle . '</h1>');
?>
($pagetitle is a variable defined earlier in the script or on the
actual page)
This will print <h1>[some title]</h1>, which is HTML.
HTML is still in the php script, so they can't claim to not have used
HTML at all.

With PHP you can write scripts that are called on the shell or by
another script. Then you don't need a web browser. And if you do not
need a web browser, you do not need HTML.
I think your database designers did it this way...

But would the resulting product be called a website? Would it be
viewable by the masses on the Internet?
