After Investigating all the facts like productivity, easy to learn and do core programming, I decided to learn PHP. For same productivity it is much easier to learn PHP than Java Script or C# .NET I have been programming in C/C++/VC++ for the last 15 years.

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.

How do they make their money? Would we know about any "back-door" which they could be planning to use in the future? Has anyone ever thought about the real role of Zend in the context?

The innovation of new frameworks in PHP deliver more power to the web standards and iam sure its the PHP thats going to lead the software field in the future. Long live PHP !

I use to developed internet and localhost application. It's awesome! You have no worry about the patch upgrade and version issue. What you people think about Ruby? Do you think if the Ruby stands stronger? or the PHP always the one. I won’t be here if i don’t know PHP. I use to developed internet and localhost application. It’s awesome!

I see PHP's future very bright. And I think it is because of its open-nature and the amount of developer support and libraries available. PHP has proven itself and has been at the top for the last 4 years. I see markups like Ruby and Cake adding to the whole PHP aura but PHP has and will rock. For a compnay, it gives value. For a developer, it provides 'plug and play' libraries and easy skill-porting from C and the likes. Long live PHP, indeed! Well, I have done some good work in ASP and JSP and in PHP.

Taking time to rewrite code to do the same thing in another language is only taking steps sideways and in general will not provide any major benefits provided that the original code was developed to a good standard.

PHP is really lagging behind in much of the innovations, IoC, AOP, choice of Persistence frameworks, build tools, mocking frameworks etc ....so yes, while its the fastest way to build a web app, i dont find it to be complete and hence not my language of choice. But for sure its going to stick around for some more time, while functional programming starts maturing. Someone just commented about java developers going back to C, wonder how much that guy knows about the java and its community! I’ve worked for 9 years on Java, and about 2 years on PHP.
