I don't actually think anyone should be using PHP. Just like MySQL gives relational databases a bad name, PHP does the same for server side programming. And yes actually trying to write a server in PHP would be ten times more insane. Node.js might be nice for writing servers but so is Twisted or straight Python, Erlang, C, even java with threads as someone mentioned.
- edtechre 15y agoMySQL gives RDBMS a bad name? What planet do you live on? And how/why the heck would you write a web server in PHP when it was made to run embedded in a web server process? Yes, I'm sure you could twist and mangle PHP so it could be used to write a standalone web server. But that would be assanine.
