No PHP drama 
The reason I’m going back to NodeJS is because Wappler didn’t make a templating system for PHP. Instead, they tell you to use “includes”. No Wappler way to make includes? 
So, nothing wrong with PHP itself, just Wappler isn’t making any easier, I was expecting the same user experience, but it’s not just about changing server targets…
Confused?, there is an icon to do exactly that, highlight what you want to move to the include and click move to include
Includes in PHP is very easy. Simply click a button. And they work very well, even with complex includes.
I’ve used includes in PHP projects and also ASP Classic projects with no issues. I’m a total NodeJS FANBOI now though so there’s no going back for me…
The only way to get the same (sort of) templating system using Wappler and PHP, is to create a single page app. Although I say single page app, this is sort of a hybrid SPA.
The outcome is a template with the main content injected into it.
I used this method for our company website and totally regret it. It’s a nightmare. Using PHP includes would have been so much more effective.
Just putting it out there as an alternative. No other PHP templating system beats NodeJS/Express.
