PHP, is not simply a web language. It can be used to write full on applications, like perl, it is just not very popular for it. It is a very powerful language that even gives you i/o support (like talking to com ports and stuff). Now this is not how it is normally used. I am mainly a CF guy, and I have recently started to dive into PHP. I would like to say, given the choice for a web app I will continue to choose CF. I mean it took me like twenty lines to write a query and while loop that in cf would have taken like 5 or 6.
Again just my opinion, and I am still a PHP novice.
