PHP or Python

[jayasai]

Hi All,

I need to pick either Python or PHP for a web-based application that interacts with a Database (mostly MySQL).

I need some advice on which one is better and why?

Thanks for the help you provide,
Jayasai

Php and perl are equally good....

But if your server is apache or IIS or some other server supported by PHP the use PHP and not python as PHP loads as a module in these servers...

The scripts are parsed by the server module and not php.exe as a CGI...

Therfore the execution is faster and efficient....

I never came across a python server module...They all worked as CGI
