I use Proboards Forums, which doesn't allow PHP. I've been looking for a RPG forum game for Proboards. But sadly, they only come in PHP. So, I was wondering, is it possible to convert that PHP into HTML? Can Java Script be converted into HTML, too? Some of these codes are in java, as well.

If you don't know, the RPGs have stats, classes, battling, shops, ect. I've seen it on many forums.

I know that boards like InvisionFree abd PHPBB are great for this kind of thing, but I feel comfortable on Proboards. Plus, those boards confuse me. I know it's silly, but oh well. lol Proboards members have made RPG codes for it, but it's not what I'm looking for. Plus, those codes interfere with other codes that I have already.

So, if you know anything about this, I really appreciate your help.

Thanks, guys! ^^

HTML is a markup language. It is meant for creating and laying out documents of information just like an MS Word file. It is not meant to process information.
PHP is a server-side scripting language. It is meant to process information on a server and dispense it in one way, shape or form.
Javascript is a client-side scripting language. It is meant to process information on the client side before information is sent to the server again, or it is used in conjunction with HTML to do some effects of some sort.

They are three completely different things. You cannot convert one into the other under any circumstance. You can use them together, however. Plus, Proboards is a generic forum host - no generic forum host is going to give you access to a scripting language. That's suicide for their business since you could easily strip ads or inject things into a database.

You might want to consider hosting a board on your own using YaBB(which, by the look of things, is what proboards uses, albeit a deprecated version). This would be the easiest option for you, and you can install pretty much anything you want. However, YaBB is written in Perl. You could try SMF, which is written in PHP and should work well for you.
