Which web language do you use?
Discuss why you think PHP, ASP, Python, or any other language you use is best for making web apps.
I personally think that PHP is best for a few reasons:
1. It's very well tailored to web design (that's its whole purpose)
2. I prefer using braces over whitespace
3. While the structure is stricter than Python, I like how it is loose in a bunch of stuff
4. I like how you can put raw output and put PHP in it
5. It is much more universal and very well documented
Note, this is about server-side code. HTML, JS, CSS, and the like are client-side.

Re: Which web language do you use?
PHP is awesome, but I'm trying to learn Javascript for other stuff.
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!

Re: Which web language do you use?
I try to do as much as I can with JS, and haven't started with PHP yet

Re: Which web language do you use?
This is talking about server-side, though, guys!
I use and like PHP; its syntax is nice, clean, and similar to other things I've used. Lots of things I need to do are easy and intuitive in it, too. Python is alright but I really don't like its syntax, plus it's harder to set up and it's not tailored for the purpose.
I don't really have any experience with ASP and JSP.

Re: Which web language do you use?
Oh, for server-side (even though I do not know much about it) I use PHP as it is the most widespread and stuff

Re: Which web language do you use?

Re: Which web language do you use?
PHP is easier to use to build websites, but some people don't write "clean" PHP code.

Re: Which web language do you use?
php
i've just never been bothered to learn any other server-side ones, and i'd imagine it'd be difficult too, since i'm so used to the php syntax
Why

I use PHP. For client-side, I'm familiar with CSS, but JS is so powerful that I'm thinking about learning it.
