Coming from a Perl background, you would probably be more comfortable with PHP. Definitely checkout the KohanaPHP framework (www.kohanaphp.com) for a solid, well-designed PHP5 MVC framework, With a good framework, you can write very readable and maintainable code.
- SwellJoe 18y agoI come from a Perl background and I'm definitely not more comfortable with PHP, despite having used it quite a bit over the past year or so for our company website, forums, store, etc. Python at least has first-class functions, and I had no problem using it for a few years when I was working in a Python shop (and I still miss IPython which rocks so hard...Devel::REPL is not quite an acceptable substitute). But, I find Ruby the most palatable of the currently trendy languages (though I do almost all of my work in Perl)...I was able to sit down and write working Ruby code with fewer bugs than I can with Perl, and I've been using Perl for 10 years. Python, after three years, I found my bug count was roughly the same as I write in Perl.
- dangoldin 18y agoI'd have to agree with you. I have a few years of Perl experience and started a bit of PHP to help a buddy out and learn. Writing something that is trivial in Perl gets quite complex in PHP. It's definitely doable, just not as nice as I'd want it to be.
