JSP vs. PHP

[Barry Scott]

Further to the JSP vs. ASP debate ( which was very interesting...), does anyone have any comments on the comparison between JSP and PHP?   I would consider myself pure JavaNuttm and would prefer to develop with JSP as I use Java to develop every other tier of my n-tier applications, however I'm not so much of a puritan that I ignore useful technologies when they arise.   My personal experiences with PHP tell me initially that it's very easy to develop with ( and would be perfect if I wanted to pass the presentation layer development  to a good HTML coder instead of getting involved with it myself ), but does that ease of development mean that it's not up to the job in high-enterprise development?   Naturally, presentation layer documents are meant to be light-weight, so could JSP (that is, using Java as the scripting language) be a bit of an overkill? (THESE COMMENTS ARE MERELY MEANT TO STIR INTEREST AND DON'T NECESSARILY REPRESENT MY VIEWS!)   If you have any comments on this, I would appreciate them.   Thanks   Barry Scott IJava UK
