Genuinely curious, what makes PHP so easy?

  On the most basic level: Most shared hosting supports PHP out of the box. FTP files over, and done. Also, PHP can be run by loading a URL and returning HTML, no framework required. On a higher level: It's much harder to get right.

    Once you have a Python environment set up its just a matter of copying files over as well for an upgrade, so I guess a lot of it is down to web server configuration.

      In what environment?
      • collyw 11y ago
        That has applied to Apache and Nginx configurations that I have used. Git pull and the code is updated. Restart the web server and you are good to go.
