I find comparing two languages with "toy scripts" to not
be very exciting. You are not going to really see the
strengths and weaknesses until you delve deeper. Consider
how database and interface abstraction layers influence
your decision. That's where the excitement begins. ;)
I have been coding in PHP for the past week and so far ... it's not so bad. I have been using the Smarty templating engine and have been having very good results. Why am i using PHP? First, because the original site was written with it. Second, my client wants PHP. Personally, I would rather use mod_perl, but (for me so far) PHP has been more fun than JSP, ASP, and Cold Fusion combined. If you are serious about PHP, i recommend O'Reily's Programming PHP and Smarty. PEAR looks promising as well.What have i found the differences/similarities between Perl and PHP to be so far?
