The best web programming language

15 years ago

Is it?

Maybe because it's really simple, flexible, and relatively easy to learn. You can get professional development tools free of charge, there are tutorials and support forum all over the net. Maybe that's why.

Thanks

I don't think it's "The Best"... however, it's THE MOST POPULAR,

FREE - check
Runs on FREE software (apache, lunix) - check
Scale able, robust, well documented - check

I am kind of getting sick of Warriors asking which language is "the best", because, that question MUST have a clarification clause. Best for what?!

To run a blog, yes, PHP is the best.

To write a encrypted, secure, bullet proof website for online banking, Java or ASP would probably be the BEST solution.

If you're making an interactive, artistic, and creative site, the best language would be Flash script

The right tool for the right job

If you need any kind of SEO, however, you're SOL with Flash. For any website, you're probably best off using a combination of Javascript/jQuery and CSS. Pretty much any kind of polish you could add to a site with Flash could be added in jQ/CSS, and it won't take nearly as long to load- also, you'll have better SEO.

However, you're 100% on-point about picking the right tool for the right job. PHP is great at handling dynamic content, but can't manipulate the DOM without some really cool libraries (I do know of one that provides jQuery-like functionality, but at that point you may as well learn jQ/JS).

like TrueStory said, php is "best" for some tasks, and impossible for others. A combination of mainly languages goes into webpages. For that matter html/css is "BEST" because without it php would have no way of displaying what its doing in a readable manor. I would love to see the "best" php slideshow you can create

! But I think this question is more for post count than actual answers.

I love php, but wouldn't hesitate dropping it without looking back if something else will work for the job better.

It is not. This forum is full of people who don't have experience in other languages, so you are only getting one side.

Python and Ruby are more suitable for most web applications than PHP. Just like PHP, they are free, open source, run on an open source stack (Apache and Nginx / linux, windows and BSD), and play well with every database engine on the face of the planet. However, Ruby and Python have better syntax and they both enforce good programming habits by their nature (especially Python). PHP encourages sloppy spaghetti code by its nature. Also, the object oriented features in PHP are very ugly because of its arcane, retarded syntax. Is it possible to build great, reliable apps in PHP? You bet. Is it easier in Python and Ruby? A resounding YES!

And if you ever want your programming skills to transfer to console applications or desktop applications, you are wasting your time in PHP. It is almost exclusively used for websites.

I used to work almost exclusively in PHP. Now I work in PHP when I have to work with legacy code, but any new project I start is either in Ruby or Python.

The thing with PHP is that it's a server side language. So it's really powerful only for certain kinds of stuff, but you can sure do a lot. Javascript has a server side implementation too, but it's definitely the best for client side.

I think PHP is open source, community developed, therefore frequently updated, extremely well documented, and always free. The documentation and ease of learning is probably the biggest plus, as well as the HUGE number of people who use it, meaning you can always find help and always find a use for your PHP skills, and always find a PHP project that does what you need, and you can install it for free instead of coding it yourself or paying for it.

I think it depends really on what your doing. Any successful web developer has many tools to bring to the table not just one. You must also remember that most niche sites in this day and age use more then PHP you normally also see MySQL,Postregsql,mssql,odbc,javascript,ajax,cgi, and perl.

As far as .net is concerned. It is best suited for windows servers. PHP and ASP can both do the same things. If you use the languages in their entirety's using all the systems and side software available to you , you can create wonderful applications.

HTML/CSS is a markup language and therefore does not fall into the category as a programming language.

Python and Ruby both have their uses. But they are not commonly used in alot of applications because of the lack of need for them. They are best suited to be used for applications that connect to more then one device.

The way I see it, it's all about using the best tool for the job. I use Python and Ruby for web applications. Applications that 7 years ago, I would have programmed in PHP. Back in the day, PHP was the best tool for the job, but since then both Python and Ruby have matured and grown robust libraries and frameworks around them that make them better candidates for most of my projects.

I don't understand what you mean by 'best suited to be used for applications that connect to more than one device'?

PHP and python and java

About the spaghetti argument for PHP it is true; PHP allows you to program sloppy however especially since php 5 they don't encourage it anymore.

I would say your best way to start is PHP OOP. And don't be lazy and follow the guidelines for good OOP (true for some smaller things OOP is not useful at all but I'm saying it is the way to learn it once you know the good way you can always fall back on a more 'sloppy' way which is more efficient for smaller projects and still keep the good habits)

Python is very robust but has a steaper learning curve than php and php has just more of everything. More examples, more tutorial, more help in general easier to start with.

Java well.. it runs on Java VM.. enough said there I think. I like the language constructs however Java as a product just sucks. Use Java for Android and keep it there.

There is nothing like the 'best web programming language'. It boils down to what you want to accomplish. With that said, PHP should be the last alternative. It's flaky and inconsistent. It's full of surprises, introducing new stuff way too frequently. The result of this is evident in bad codes featured on most websites.

For me, Perl and Python are the best suited web programming language.

Being into web development in php since last 10 yrs,
1. PHP is easy to understand as well as for its integration.
2. Easy syntax to remember, mainly all syntaxes are with proper naming conventions.
3. OOPS concept can be integrated with PHP
4. As per new trend, CMS are already built with just installation of those one can live the site
CMS are proven and bears the good quality and security.
Popular CMS like Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla
5. New frameworks are introdued like Yii, Codeigniter, Cakephp which reduces the programming efforts and logic.

There are such more advantages and thats why I would recommend "PHP" as best programming language.

It really depends on how complex you site is going to be and how big it is and if it should communicate with other systems. I feel that PHP is the way to go when you are creating smaller web pages and ASP.NET is the choice if it is complex and you need to test and integrate with other systems.

What's with this thread, and these posts? "best" and "better" are subjective and meaningless in this context. JavaScript and PHP are not comparable languages since they operate on two different platforms, but both are considered web languages.

There is no single "best" language, each language is/was created for a specific purpose and that purpose is what IT does best. You can't manipulate the DOM with PHP, so PHP is "not as good" as JavaScript for this task. Likewise, JavaScript doesn't have native support for server-side programming, so it is "not as good" as PHP in this regard.

Neither PHP or JavaScript are capable of manipulating the local system, so neither are "as good as" C++ or Java in this respect. If you want to go comparing languages and platforms, that's fine, but let's not debate about why one language is better than another in such general terms.

C is "better" than C++ because it can execute faster, but C++ is "better" than C because it supports classes and objects. Java is the "worst" language because it doesn't allow a programmer to write procedural code and is no faster at run-time than any other language.

Silly question, silly thread.

Actually PHP has some serious design issues that are described in this blog entry: PHP: a fractal of bad design - fuzzy notepad

About the original question, there is no programming language that is can be considered as the best programming language for developing web applications. The selection of a programming language is always decision that depends from the situation you are in. You have to always consider questions like:

What kind of application you are building? Programming language Z might be the perfect tool for building a blog but it makes no sense to use it when you are building an online banking system.

What kind of performance requirements do yo have? If your web applications needs to be scale when the user base of your application grows, you have to take this into account when you are making the initial technology selection.

What is your hosting budget? Your hosting budget is a crucial factor that will either increase or decrease the number of programming languages in which you can choose from.

What is the experience of your maintenance team? If your maintenance team is a lot of experience from the programming language X, it is not wise to use programming language Y unless you are ready to spend a lot of time to train them (or simply fire your team and hire new people who know Y).

How easy it is find people that can do professional software development with language X? This is also an essential question. If finding these people is hard (or they cost too much), DO NOT use programming language X.

As you can see, this question is not so straight forwarded as it might seem at the first glance. The most important lesson you should learn is this: Use the correct tool for each task. The questions that I mentioned before will help you to determine what the correct tool is.

PS. X, Y and Z are imaginary programming languages and any similarity to reality is purely coincidental.

Advantages of Php:
- Open Source, readily available (you can be using it today) and dual-
licensed - if you are doing non-profit work or not licensing, there is
no cost.
- Very Easy to understand Syntax, some really cool features (arrays
are something else!)
- Interfaces very easily with Apache/MySQL
- Server side (no need to futz with client installs - only with
rendering issues if you use CSS).
- Lots of good source code out there to use and/or learn from, as well
as many useful libraries for working with PDFs, graphics, etc.

Thanks

I reckon that PHP is the easist to pick up for a noobie but perhaps its greatest advantage is the amount of scripts and support out there which means that almost anything you think of is already built and, at worst, just requires slotting into you program or tweaking.

Best... can really depend on the requirements of the application, some programming languages are better for certain things and PHP based programming can be easier to hack so security might be an issue. If you know what you are doing then .net, .asp with XML web services can make a superior online entity in my opinion.

Put it this way, you see a lot of small merchants, like the majority of us, using a PHP based website but the REAL powerhouse software developers and corporations will not be using PHP.

I would recommend learning Objective-C. Maybe learn C first, if you feel like you need to learn one language to prepare for another, but Objective-C is a strict superset of C (that is to say, anything that can be done in C -and more- can be done in Objective-C).

The best way to learn a language, for me, is to just start learning it. So get Xcode, grab some Objective-C video tutorials and get coding!

For me PHP.

Reasons:

Open Source

PHP is Open Source. It means it is within easy reach and absolutely free!

Support

The PHP community is a large one, as PHP is very popular. Therefore, there are a number of references and guidelines available on the net.

Cross-Platform

PHP is cross-platform. It works on Unix, Linux and Windows platforms.

Embedding

PHP can be easily embedded into HTML. This makes it very easy to convert an already existing static website into a new dynamic one.

One of the thing related to PHP is that it is a platform independent language. It means it doesn't requires any other medium to run or to execute. The second thing is that it can make the web page dynamic, by its own, which means that there is no requirement of any sort of CMS or other software needed with PHP. In the recent years this scripting language has developed a lot and has been in use since then.

maybe a bit off topic but are there any warriors who can customize a joomla site? I need some additional functions to a template, mubltiple linking ability for users,search by city, country functionality, buy now button linking capability, and membership pay button on the landing page (home/login page). I also want them to be able to view the site, but when they click on creat an account, then a pop up for regiatration and payment comes up.

Not sure how to do this. I'm sure it's all php and sql but I don't know for sure. Anyhow, it's Joomla not wordpress...if that matters. They're both cms so it shouldnt matter.

No language is the 'best web programming language'.

PHP is great, mostly because it comes pre-packaged with most linux distributions and runs out-of-the-box with apache.

However, if you know enough to be able to setup another language under a web server, it can perform just as well. Take python for example, great language, has many, many advantages over PHP but PHP also has advantages over python. So you see, it comes down to opinion yet again.
