I have a website built entirely with PHP that serves only the frontend, without a backend. We now need to create three new pages, but instead of using PHP, we are considering building them with React. Additionally, we are looking at a potential future transition where the entire website might be migrated to React.
However, I am facing several challenges in integrating React with my existing PHP site:
Navigation Between PHP and React Pages โ Since PHP and React work differently in handling routes, I am unsure how to seamlessly link pages between the two. When a user clicks on a link from a PHP page, it should correctly navigate to the corresponding React page, and vice versa. What is the best way to structure these routes?
Styling Conflicts โ The existing website uses traditional CSS and Bootstrap, but the new React pages will be styled with Tailwind CSS. This might cause conflicts in styles when integrating both environments. What strategies can be used to isolate styles and prevent conflicts?
Given these considerations, what would be the best approach to smoothly integrate React into our existing PHP-based frontend while maintaining efficient navigation and avoiding styling issues?
