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!

Bjarne Stroustrup Php is far too popular to be going away soon, it been around for well over a decade. Php is a solid maturing language and I can only see the underlying engine getting more powerful. “There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.” Bjarne Stroustrup

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.

Currently, unfortunately, PHP is the most used technology for the web. But this is mainly for quick and dirty solutions (i am not putting here that php could not be used for serious apps). Learn it well, use it, earn your money but in the same time keep an eye on other technologies like Pyhon-Django, Ruby-Rails and why not .NET, Groovy-Grails (PHP will remain in Pakistan for the same amount of time that it will "remain" all over the globe) Cheers, may you have an easy programmer life! @Farid
