JSP is appropriate as a *part* of a Java web application project, but not as its entirety: JSP is on the view side, but ideally, no programming (apart from simple functionality provided by tag libraries) should be done in the JSP. The programming part of things belongs in Java classes (servlets, or in whatever methodology is supported by the framework you choose).

There's no reasonable way to answer a "Is JSP 'better' than PHP" type of question, because it depends entirely on what you're doing, how you want to do it, and so on. I find PHP is abhorrent as a language, but other people will disagree. Regardless of how you feel about it as a language, it's possible to write good, clean PHP (within the constraints of what the language gives you)--but most people don't.

Please don't type in all caps; it's rather difficult to read.

Again: there is no reasonable way to answer a question like "Is Java a better platform than PHP." *I* think it is, but that's an opinion. I think PHP-the-language is horrible, but I think *most* languages are horrible: there is more to this discussion than pure technical merit.

PHP is *old*. How about you search the web for PHP and find out some information about it yourself? It would be a lot quicker and easier than waiting for someone to give an incomplete answer here.

PHP vs JSP job market? You mean PHP versus Java, because nobody uses *just* JSP (and if they do, run, don't walk, in the opposite direction). here's the TIOBE index:

(It's somewhat ironic it's a PHP page.)

Note that the Objective-C rise is due solely to the iPad/iPhone.
