Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Parent context: <https://www.php.net/> Reply: I've been going to that website for almost 20 years. I feel like it's part of how PHP became so widely used. The documentation is easy, thorough, and searchable.
- Php is easy also, simple sintax C like, it’s not about the language, if you know Python you can do PHP easily, I worked with both and more, and PHP is the most straightforward.
- Php, much easier than python. Php was made for the web for a reason.
- PHP is pretty powerful and you can do tons of server-side things with few lines of code and almost zero dependancies: 1. Archive Management (ZIP/TAR) 2. Advanced image processing (filters, effects, resize, format, conversion, ...) 3. Ad...
- PHP is super performant and uses almost no resources. You can use the cheapest VPS with 1 core and 2GB RAM and it'll still run fine.
Cons
- Since I deal with key=>value arrays in php a lot more often than I am manually writing objects in javascript
- PHP is a garbage fire, written in Go? Don't go near it with a 10 ft pole.
- Parent context: <https://www.php.net/> Reply: It’s bad - but good, somehow. It feels refreshing to just have a plain page and some clearly spelled out links.
- Smaller clients don’t care, they don’t know the difference between react and php. Larger companies will often dictate which platform to use because theirs own developers might get involved at some moment.
- Fuck php

Doing it with PHP is probably a little bit better, and will improve performance a little bit.
There is a web development framework built to wrap C functions in a more user-friendly language with in-built templating, session-handling, file-handling, request-handling etc. It's PHP.
You gotta learn PHP, it still runs the web.
