RE: [PHP] Is PHP serious enough for Online Trading app?

Hello: I see that Java might be superior to PHP in terms of error-handling capabilities. I really like the way errors can be handled in Java even when you are calling multiple-objects from a single servlet. When an error gets thrown, you can specify exactly how you want it to be handled. That kind of thing is very useful in a financial application. You can code similar things in PHP, but do they have the same sophistication as in Java?

My usual We are bidding for a commodities trading exchange which I have proposed to build on PHP and MySQL - yes MySQL!
