Re: PHP Pros/Cons, Case Examples, PHP vs Servlets

I've a web programmer ( just beginner ) using PHP . And I also learn / write java at my university since I'm a student . As I know , developing a page using PHP is much faster than java . Not just 1 / 2 hrs , but maybe one day to a week . Learning Java including servlet takes times , but you can learn php within 1 to 2 days . updating and managing the PHP script is more easlier and faster than servlet . The sercuity of java is better and the network controlling features is better too . The loading time of servlet is faster since the server just need to run the servlet one times and the servlet will leave inside server's memory for further use , but PHP script will be run every times you can control synchronization in servlet but you can't in PHP I suggest you need not to use PHP or servlet on whole site , You can depend on the function of the page PS : I hope can help you . Maybe you know it before but I just want to share it . If I have wrong concept , welcome experts correct it and I can learn from it .
