I use PHP already for many years and I like as it integrates nicely and
easily with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. And as Rohit explained, no matter what
language you use, for more advanced application you got to learn HTML, CSS
and JavaScript any way! 

Speed might be an issue for some applications (?) but PHP is fast enough for
most applications (so why bother). I agree that the debugging side of PHP is
a bit poor, but that's all part of website development I suppose. 

I wanted to make a start with Delphi 4 PHP a couple of years ago, but never
got to it (should I?).

I have been using PHP because I did not want the server to be tied to MS.
Its also very popular.  I started off with Delphi for PHP.  But the
investment in learning it was wasted.  The only thing I use it for is for
debugging now.   There is no vcl in sight.

Had t learn PHP, javascript, HTML and CSS.  I think you have to , if you
want it efficient.  Mine has to be as I am targeting millions of users not
just hundreds.  It is my spare time project too.  Check it out if you want
7bfaces.com.   You have to signup to see it and note its work in progress.

Thanks Berend,

 

I'm not doing this for a job but working on my on applications at home in my
spare time. I've been programming for many years but not as a job since
about 2005.

 

My next project will be totally web based and I've been thinking that I'd
need to make the move to RubyonRails at that point, but before I make that
commitment, I wondered if anyone was using Delphi successfully on good
advanced web projects - or something else. I know the C#.NET argument is a
pretty good argument but for some reasons I'm resisting that move.

I mean, you're learning this for fun or for having a job? Not sure how
many RoR jobs there are in NZ.

Some years ago I heard that most Delphi programmers went to PHP. The
PHP market in NZ is pretty robust, so that works.

But if you want to stay in the Microsoft World, C# + ASPX or whatever
the greatest latest technology is from M$ would be the best fit.
