Depends on what you wish to do. BTW, with Flash Remoting - it's not as simple or well documented as it should be. Macromedia really *needs* to improve in this area - hopefully Red Sky can fix many of the previous bugs.

I can't tell you how many times I used the same lines of code throughout each of my pages to connect to the DB, etc. (If there was a way to reuse this, I didn't know about it).

I get all this without writing a line of code.

You're pointing out another plus for PHP; you can set up options in the initialization file (php.ini) so that when pages are returned they do not have the .php extension.

In a few years JSP will be as dead as the one-eyed moose, killed by
PHP and .NET.

My question is not one of Which is better but more a question of what can JSP/Servlets do that PHP can't or can't as easily
Thanks.

PHP can execute faster (3-4 times faster).
PHP can be developed faster (2-3 times faster).

Yahoo does not use PHP. They use PHP for some trivial internal work that they used to use some specialized scripting. They do not use it for their search pages. PHP sucks. I have used it. It has no transactional support. No asynchronous messaging capability. No built-in security features. It is pathetic for mission critical applications. Trying to split php into a Model 2, MVC architecture is an excercise in futility.Originally posted by herb slocomb:
In any event, the fact that the world's most heavily traficced web site uses php should put aside most arguments against php not being scalable. In the prior article I cited there were also other large companies with large web sites using PHP. The growth rate of PHP continues to soar while jsp stagnates with modest growth (or even begins to lose market share to .NET).
