CF is easier to learn and I think its faster to develop in it as well. The primary benefits of CF, in terms of building dynamic sites, are the abstracted database access, which PHP only offers via a third-party class, and "direct" access to a recordset. PHP also doesn't offer the same type of specific variable scoping that CF does. And, as has been mentioned, it uses a model similar to JSP and ASP and that can, at times, make coding complicated HTML pages a bit more of a chore than CF. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
