Wow, this seems to be one of those topics where everyone has strong but
differing opinions,
Atila java over PHP. Just few points why:
Nice comparative overview
HermitIt seems to depend on what you will be using it for ultimately.
BINGO, we have a winner folks...
Ron,
Answering about where you draw the line: usually nowhere. The technology
you'll use is decided upon your own skills/experience/existing assets and
setup you have on the server.
Key is interoperability. You can actually have a mixed PHP/Java solutions,
and write C++ extensions for PHP.
If it
What's a guy to beloieve? Any opin... any more opinions?
PHP is a KIA, Java is a 1 ton 4x4 Dodge Ram pickup. Both can be used to
get to the grocery store, but the trip also involves carrying a load of
concrete blocks

Well, in my opinion, Java is much more OOP. PHP is really nothing more than
just scripts. It will eventually hit a ceiling and be limited in what it can
do. Java, on the other hand, is much more robust, which is why the majority
of large corporations still use Java as their application backbone.
You have to worry much less about Memory leaks, and
syntactically, the language is simpler than C++, so
saying that it's become more complicated than C++ is
total bull.
Still, they're just different beasts. I'd rather write
most web apps in PHP, but you could never write your
own server in PHP
I haven't done any work in PHP so I can't really comment on its
usefulness, but I've found doing web stuff in Java isn't particularly
hard. There are a number of possibilities for doing Java work on the
server that makes it easier too.
We use Apache Tomcat here. It handles all the HTTP
I guess it depends on what you know and what you need. PHP is no more harder
to maintain than ActionScript - it all depends on who's coding it.
Personally, I really like PHP - the syntax is similar enough to ActionScript
that development in it is quite straightforward for an AS person. If
I used both PHP and Java for server-side development, and although my
clients mostly ask for PHP (this is due to the strange PHP loving of
hosting providers here), I far more prefer Java. Just few points
why:
Language features
# PHP
- no strict typing
- horror of automatic type conversions
Eclipse, Spring, Hibernate, AXIS and Java is a pretty nice toolkit.
