Between PHP and Python, which one is better for web programming purpose?
icey: I'm not going to speak at all to which language is better. As far as I'm concerned, if you're developing for the web they both have their pros and cons.That being said, learn Python; if anything so you don't have to hear smarmy language snobs go on and on about how PHP is terrible.On a deeper level, I would seriously consider taking some source code from each and pasting it into the editor of your choice. Then maximizing each one side by side and consider how staring at each one makes you think about working in it.I know it's a bit fruity, but I like to think about it as code Ikebana. I'm only a little embarrassed to admit that I've made more than a few code decisions that way.[Edit: I'm a smarmy language snob, so feel free to ignore this advice :D ]
