I have used both PHP and JSP. If you understand PHP you can develop it
faster that JSP. The problem is that PHP is very Perl like which is a steep
learning curve and JSP will scale much better. The problem with this
comparison is you are leaving out Servlets. If you do JSP in the Model 2
style with sevlets you will get the preformace that you get out of PHP and
you get scalability that you would never get out of PHP or any uncompiled
script language. Orion serves JSP as fast an PHP in the test that I have
made. But when I off load the processing logic to servlets or beans and use
JSP for presentation only, JSP on Orion is fast than PHP and the prefromance
does not drop as quickly under load as PHP does.

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
