It's not just that it was easier, it also ran everywhere, was fast (with mod_php), did not require chmod'ing files on the server, did work even if you uploaded the file with windows line breaks, had parameter parsing and sessions built in. It was pretty quickly superior to Perl for web-stuff in my opinion.
- jrwr 6y agoI still like it for CRUD apps and below. you really can't beat just being able to take a plain HTML file and throw a few <?php foreach($array as $row){ ?> in the middle of it as a quick and dirty web app it feels much more useful then anything else.
