Can't speak for the runtime performance - PHP, JSP, and ColdFusion are all
pretty fast - but I can't see how one can pin down development time
differences between PHP and JSP. Maybe with an atomic clock. ColdFusion is
faster still (higher level of abstraction).
IMO the only sensible basis of comparison between these HTML-embedded
scripting languages is platform support and feature-sets.
Was that a public discussion you refer to? It would be interesting to see
what arguments could possibly have been made.

Subject: JSP vs PHP
Hi,
I just ran into a discussion regarding PHP vs. JSP (and ASP). A claim was
made that PHP was the better alternative as it is quicker in development
and gives
you a better runtime performance. I have no hands-on PHP experience. Can
anyone explain me the benefits of PHP over JSP (and vice versa of course).
I'm bit
reluctant to rely solely on marketing speak.
Thanks,
FE
