Currently the most popular (and possibly the best) server-side scripting language is PHP. PHP is included with most web hosts as part of the popular LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL,PHP) configuration.

PHP advantages include:

• Very simple integration with HTML
• Open Source Licensing
• Simple Learning Curve
• Extensive documentation and code samples on the Internet

PHP or JSP are the best

i recommend PHP

Anyone who thinks there is a right answer to this question is drinking kool-aide from somewhere...

The best language is the one that works best for your project. If it's a simple project, go for php or asp.net, if it's a large project, go for a content management system, drupal/joomal for php or dotnetnuke for asp.net.

But first, think about functionalities, what you need, constraints etc, then you can choose the language based on those specs.

Like any software tool, it depends on the task.

It always depends on application requirements. If it's huge network I'd go for python. Regular sites scripting like blogs, forums and any unique project - PHP

Code both languages with known frameworks to make your life better.

To test your programs without going online you can use xampp. It puts a server on your computer.

I think I have to give you a biased answer to this, PHP! It offers several advantages compared to conventional programming language, yes it can be a bit tricky compared to others but with PHP being open source you will probably find more templates and sample scripts you can study to make your site even brighter and better!
