Is PHP the future of web development?

depende sad jud na sa imo application ug gi unsa sad nimo pang plan ang imong system

infact grabeh jud gani cya ka flexible mura na ug c pwede ma procedural pwede sad ma oop

Would you develop a gov't system to handle taxes in php? Or a bank system application in php? Or even an airline registration system in php?

uhmm... don't think so.

hmmm kung naning kaau ang programmer and if his/her pay is good

PHP is an easy language to learn and it has a large community supporting it, so I think it will always be around.

If the original question refers to commercial websites (micro - small businesses) that are not mission-critical, then PHP stands a good chance. But when enterprise applications are discussed, then, imho, I seriously don't think so.

See the statistics: http://www.nexen.net/chiffres_cles/p...ember_2007.php
Would you consider all PHP's 33% not mission critical, and ASP's 21% all mission critical

Statistics tells the whole truth...

Mission critical apps are the ones with thorough code audit and backed up with fail-safe hardware (ups, raid5, dfs, redundant power supply, etc...). Any stable language language can be used such JAVA, ASP, PHP, PYTHON, RUBY, PERL or even C compiled CGIs.

and i guess this article will answer http://phplens.com/phpeverywhere/node/view/15

and again depende ra jud na nimo kng gi unsa na nimo pag plan ang imo system.

depende ra tingali jud na sa programmer bai kng gi unsa pag organize
depende sad jud na sa imo application ug gi unsa sad nimo pang plan ang imong system


infact grabeh jud gani cya ka flexible mura na ug c pwede ma procedural pwede sad ma oop

naa jud dako na deperensya compiled versus interpreted..thats why i choose java..

Java is not really compiled but is pseudo-interpreted . It is compiled to bytecodes (similar to .NET) and not to machine's native processor code. The JRE will interpret the bytecode sequence and executes it. It is not fast but is very portable because bytecodes does not change from one machine to machine.

There is already a technology called JIT compiler so that you don't have to be concerned about those minute details as execution speed.
Most enterprise application's bottlenects are not found on the execution of the codes, most lies on the network bandwidth between application servers on a distributed enterprise application setup, between databases and application servers. Some bottlenecks can also be found on some poorly created sql statements.

It is very true. Pero depende sad application. Business apps don't really need a fast code execution because most of the processing is on the backend (SQL server).

Kung number-crunching (cryptography, dsp, mp3 decoding, vision systems) , systems networking (tcp-ip, netcasting) or desktop apps (graphical and text processing) that requires exhaustive memory access, I would not use Java.

Also if you are dealing with embedded systems (embedded devices/processors) and real-time systems, that has very limited RAM and FLASH for the firmware, JAVA is unusable. The interpreter already will consume most of the resources plus your bytecode program. Not yet considering the code execution speed.

i stand here corrected.

Yes PHP is growing each day in quite a good manner and i believe that its pretty fine.The thing is agile business solutions helps us with learning more and at the same time we get to understand how goodly we can move on something.
