Hello again. Recently I was looking at 2 browser-based games, namely
http://www.imperiaonline.org and
http://www.bulfleet.com. I saw that their whole projects are written in JS(AJAX). Do you think JS/AJAX is better than PHP when we are talking about writting whole web projects? And second question is PHP the best(or only) solution to writting a log-in systems?

Looking at the first link you see that the file extension is .php

Yes but I didn't find any php code in the source code. I've downloaded some of the pages from the server and saw only JS code.

Does that mean you can't create a log-in app with JS/AJAX?

No, ofcourse it doesn't.
However, an entirely JS login would be very easily compromised.

How come ? Because you can view the source. And even if it does, what can hapend. Note I am quite new

Since to be entirely JS based it'd have to hard code the password

Creating jobs for people though
You can also turn off JS in your browser which would make your login script fail.
