Debugging PHP poor? Breakpoints, hover-over variable values, step into
what more do you need? I agree with the speed thing though, No need for
compiled code until you get to facebook size.
I always thought the concept of a PHP VCL a little strange, The
statelessness of webservers and the limitations of browsers was always
going to make a rich delphi like application builder a hard ask, almost
destined to disappoint. Having said that I wouldn't suggest anyone
starting a new project go for a fat client unless heavy graphic
requirement dictated it

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.
