But my question still client should use core php. I thnk we need we want client should use open source software in php like joomle, Drupal etc. I think your suggestion is right php is most useful role in web application.

It will be up to the PHP (the community) to continually morph into a world beating language…

PHP will be around for a long timne, who knows what it will morph into. The language that's rising steadily and surely is Python. Nice language, lots of libraries, scales from teh small and now in the HPC domain. What amazes me about Python is that it's not being pushed by large companies with money - it's ground up expansion which means the base/core of people use with because it's actually useful - not because the use of the language was mandated by someone else. PHP will undergo changes to accomodate the limitations it has since it's inception. Python on the other hand keeps expanding slowly and surely based not on it's limitations but new marlets/areas the language is being adopted in. My pick is PHP will be around for a long time but Python will keep growing Languages evolve or have evolved to meet a specific need.

And with what we make websites ? of course with the tool, that was originally designed for that - PHP. Yeeey PHP live long and grow strong. PHP seems to be the best tool to develop them with. I assume that because of popularity. But for more complex tasks I think other languages are suited better than PHP. No doubt PHP will be near us for a long time. In the end the old saying, choose the proper tool for certain task. php – originally designed for simple web applications, like websites and no doubt internet users grow every year and so as the total amount of websites.

My advice is don't learn to write code on X language and wait and see if it dies the next year..., simply learn to Write Code, learn the concepts right, the tricks, tips, and craftsmanship of software development, that will help you jump from any language to another in a short time, and making money along the way :).

I've found Ruby to be an amazing programming language. It has beautiful syntax, an amazing community, and is just plain fun to work with. Add Rails into the mix and it's a tough combo to shy away from. About the only thing that remains annoying about Ruby and Rails is deployment, but this is changing quickly with options like Passenger. Just my 2-cents :-) I am using PHP on a daily basis as well but have been learning Ruby and Ruby on Rails over the last year or so in my spare time.
