Server-side scripting is a web server technology in which a user's request is fulfilled by running a script directly on the web server to generate dynamic web pages. It is usually used to provide interactive web sites that interface to databases or other data stores. This is different from client-side scripting where scripts are run by the viewing web browser, usually in JavaScript. The primary advantage to server-side scripting is the ability to highly customize the response based on the user's requirements, access rights, or queries into data stores. The source code is visible to the user and is also used as a method in web development, as the scripts are run on the client's browser. There are some advantages to it being run on the user's computer, these include a more interactive application and faster response times.
