The biggest draws for PHP:
- a wide selection of well documented frameworks to choose from
- a wide selection of robust CMS's to choose from
- a variety of CRM's to choose from
- runs on a bog-standard web server (apache, IIS) right out of the box
- jiggy2011 14y agoIt doesn't run "out of the box" you still need to install mod_php (although ubuntu/debian makes this pretty easy). I'd be hesitant to call a CMS or CRM built on something that doesn't understand utf8 "robust". There's plenty of great , well documented framework available for Java & Python too.

- knieveltech 14y ago#1: fair, but when was the last time you had to install mod_php outside of a local development environment? Ever come across commodity hosting that didn't have apache + mod_php? #2: also fair, however Wordpress and Drupal are by far the most popular open source CMS's on the planet, despite this apparent handicap. If # of websites is your metric, what would be the closest competitor written in another language? Plone? #3: also fair, no rebuttal.
