C++ is a programming language and is only ever used in web development for operations that require more optimization. I guarantee PHP is more than sufficient for you if you need to ask this question! Use PHP and don't worry about it!

Uh, no it isn't, Linux is built on C and Assembler. C++ is something totally different even though some C++ compilers can compile C code if told it is a C syntax source.

Well, that depends, as always. PHP is a nice scripting language which can be embedded into the files read by Apache or other brand of http daemon and then passed on to an add in module which then returns the results to display. PHP can also be used in CGI mode, but so can C, C++, Java, Perl, Ruby, TCL, Python, etc. So if Marcus Luther is already comfortable with C++ and can learn CGI then go for it. Who knows, Marcus may even invent the next best thing in scripting languages.

I will add that PHP is the most used when it comes to websites. It's syntax is similar to other languages and should not be hard to learn.

I wasn't talking about the programming language that Linux was built with, i was saying PHP applications are built on and hosted on Linux servers and C++ on Windows (in Microsoft Visual Studio).

And i agree with you, go with PHP and that's more than enough for building web applications.

PHP is built specifically to serve HTML to a browser. It became popular because it worked very well, was easy to pickup, and had excellent documentation early on. It's a very "scrappy" language focused on getting things done.

While you could technically write a website in C++, it would be like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

To be asking this question, I'm assuming you are new to building websites.

If you want to build a general purpose website as fast as possible, I would recommend looking into a system like WordPress, a "Content Management System" which runs on top of PHP and makes building websites very easy. You can tweak the PHP yourself via plugins if you need to.

If you are gun hoe about making a "web app", I would look to learn PHP on a lower level or look into Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Python, etc.

If you are in a corporate environment, consider Java.

If you are familiar with Windows development and .NET, you can checkout C# and their web development tools which are related to C++.

Marcus,

Lots of web applications were built years ago in C++ CGI. It was a laborious process.

For "modern" web applications.... I would recommend PHP if you are focusing on WordPress... For 100% custom web applications, I would use Ruby on Rails. It saves you from "reinventing the wheel" again.....

God Bless,

Alright, it seems that there is a lot of confusion going on right now.

For all of you, C++ is used in Linux and is what runs a majority of web based panels like cPanel. I said C++ not C. I know what I am talking about. C++ was designed off of C, C++ is just a more advanced version of C.

C++ can be used in web based applications but a majority of the time, you would use C++ for desktop based programs.

There is a big difference in programming between Client side scripting and server side scripting.

With C++, it is primarily based for client side but still can be used for server side based operations. For instance, on one of my private servers, I have a few applications I created in C++ that help trigger the load balancing on my servers.

With PHP, it's very touchy. You primarily use php as a client side coding method for more stunning websites such as Wordpress sites and Drupal sites. This forum is based off of php client side scripting as its made with vBulletin.

As any Linux Admin would know, PHP has a huge role to play on the server side as well. PHP is essential for a majority of modern day websites to function.

So a recap:

C is the base of C++. C++ is widely used on Linux Servers just as C is to. PHP is primarily a client side scripting language. Windows and Linux both can compile and use C++ coding. There are libraries for C++ that are exclusive to Windows. If you start getting into game development you would know a lot about this.

I am a certified Level III Linux Server Administrator. I own a large scale IT Business. I have previously worked for HostGator and I have been doing development work for as long as I can remember. I am young but I am not ignorant. Take the true facts from an actual professional who has been doing this for a hot minute now.

You have to remember that PHP is very close to C, not C++. New additions to PHP have allowed for classes and such, but most content you work with is still closer to C than C++ in what I've seen.

As for the cardinal differences, I'm just chiming in with what a lot of other folks have already posted, but can hopefully make it a bit clearer.

PHP is not compiled. This means that when you upload a php file to a server, and refresh the page, the contents (unless they are cached) are reflected immediately. This is great for testing and writing code, but is not terribly efficient.

C/C++ is compiled code, which means that when you make any change to a file in the program, it has to be recompiled by a compile program. At compilation, the syntax and code is checked to make sure that it links properly via coding standards.

PHP is not checked, which is why you can obtain the WSOD (White Screen of Death) where the site just does not load since you have a syntax error or programming error of some time.

Because of these differences, you can understand why PHP is slower than C/C++. C/C++ compiled code is build, using the systems library, meaning that it can be compiled for max performance, and it never has to check to see syntax and other requirements.

That being said, you can see why Facebook went the route of create their own php->C++ compiler, as it was able to turn their content which is not updated very often, to being compiled into a program that is incredibly fast.

Just my two cents.

Thanks

PHP is probably the most popular programming language on the web. Used to improve the website. With PHP, you can do things like create username and password pages, check details of a form, create forums, photo galleries, polls, and more. If you come across a website that ends in PHP, then the author has written some programming code to encourage plain, old HTML.

There is a lot of confusion here. Both C++ and PHP are just programming languages. Both can be used to program everything on every operating system. C++ is Objected Oriented prograrmming language, strong-typed, this means you must declare any variable or object used by the program. PHP is also an objected oriented programming language but soft-typed it does not require variable declaration as with C/C++. As a matter fact PHP has the same structure as C++. In other words, PHP is sort of a clone of C.

Normally, the C/C++ language is compiled. These compilers are designed to generate machine code which instructions would be executed directly by the CPU. These type of programs are widely used to optimize time consuming tasks such as compressing data, device drivers, web servers, but not limited to just that. Therefore, programming on C++ requires certain skill because you have total control of the program memory and you have to check boundaries and memory addresses.

Is it possible creating web applications with C/C++?

Sure, it is possible just, think of this: the webserver where your page is hosted was probably programmed with C/C++.

On the other hand, PHP is commonly an interpreted language, this means, the PHP parser executes the script and translates it on to server commands, it does not generate machine code or executable file to run the program. For this the server must have installed the PHP extension to run PHP scripts. With PHP you do not have to worry about memory boundaries or heap management. However, PHP scripts are a slower than C/C++ compiled files because the server must interpret each code line of the script while the C compiled program is directly sent to the CPU.

Is it possible creating desktop applications with PHP?

YES. How? Well there are tools that compile the PHP script into machine code. As it should be tools capable of interpreting C++ code as a server side script. However, never heard of one so far.

So which is better? A: BOTH but depends the application

To create simple web applications such as shopping carts, content management systems, or simple database management, I would go for PHP. You only need a webhosting with PHP enabled to use it.

To create advanced optimized applications such a search engine (like Google), 3D rendering machine I would go for C++. They can run on servers if you have such privilege of installing on them.

Can I merge both?
Yes, you can write an extension for PHP with C++ to later use it into your PHP scripts.

So what to learn first?
I defnitely would go for C/C++ first. Once you have learned C/C++, PHP would be a piece of cake. Personal experience of this.

As a matter fact for your information the PHP library used to run PHP scripts was built with C.

I hope you this helps to give you the idea.

PHP is specifically designed for web applications. If you are going to learn a language for programming web apps, PHP is the way to go.

HOWEVER, it is completely possible to do a web application in C++, and it's not as uncommon as people may think. OkCupid and Meebo are done in C++, and I'm sure there are lots of other examples. It just a much higher learning curve than, PHP, but there is nothing wrong with it per-say.

In any case, PHP is sufficient for 99% of anything you'd want to do as far as web programming goes. That's what you should learn.

Why is everyone always griping about memory management in PHP?
Just because the language attempts to do garbage collection for you, doesn't mean that it's adequate, and you can forget about it.
The memory you use in PHP does matter. And that's why you use functions like memory_get_usage(). Just because PHP is very forgiving and allows some awful practices to compile, doesn't mean that you should use awful practices in writing code.
The biggest difference I see between PHP and C++ syntactically is that PHP has less brutally ugly syntax. If you compare PHP and C++ in the scenarios you would use PHP, they're very similar.
You just need to remember to top load your libraries in C++, which I find annoying. C++ does appeal to my inner need to control every detail of execution, though.

If you are cleared that you need to develop a web application then you should use PHP for the web app development because C++ is used to develop desktop apps.

C++ is a general-purpose object-oriented programming (OOP) language, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, and is an extension of the C language. C++ is considered to be an intermediate-level language, as it encapsulates both high- and low-level language features. Initially, the language was called "C with classes" as it had all the properties of the C language with an additional concept of "classes."

Java is a programming language that produces software for multiple platforms. When a programmer writes a Java application, the compiled code (known as bytecode) runs on most operating systems (OS), including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. Java derives much of its syntax from the C and C++ programming languages.

Now, it's your turn you tell which is better as per your requirements.

PHP is behind most of the website, its easy to learn and you can do pretty much anything with it. C++ is much harder to code but is more stable. It always depends what you wish to do with the language. ascript or a website?
