What are your opinions about PHP language future? Does this language have any perspectives or it will be replaced by a new technology later? What do you think about this?

ajlea2k · 09-30-2008, 10:20 AM

Is this a real question? Regardless of what people may think of PHP, I don't think many people would say it had no future. Even if it stopped being actively developed today, there are millions of sites and trillions of lines of legacy code out there that would need to be supported.

PHP will be around for the foreseeable future...

I am sure it wasn't a real question since all major open source projects are PHP and that won't change, probably in my lifetime.

It has future but everything has it's end

I am just asking this question to understand if there is a sense to start studying PHP?

Eric_ALSSCAN · 10-06-2008, 10:50 AM

I don't see PHP dieing anytime soon, but I kinda think Perl is the better route. I would say there's more open source Perl going around, greater scalability, and it's already set up on almost every web server. Plus, PHP has some known security issues; Perl is *damn near* bulletproof considering all the people out there that have been involved in development.

For the mainstream languages, everything is becoming as Java once was.

On a side note, functional languages have been gaining a lot of popularity is the last several years. Many of them allow you to be an order of magnitude faster once you learn them.

I think PHP is a very powerful language for the skills it requires to learn it. Unless you have no prior programming experience whatsoever, it shouldn't be that hard to learn.

I'd say if you know more than just standard HTML, it wouldn't be the hardest thing to learn considering what it is capable of these days.

PHP.net and Google.com are great places to start.

I don't know that much about Perl and CGI, as I have never really tried to learn them.

markdeboer · 10-11-2008, 01:17 AM

I think you'd better start learning PHP... As long it isn't bad for your health or so.. :p.. PHP will be developing for the following 5 - 10 years, it's the same as HTML, it is still used today, as will be the same for PHP too I think .. good luck anyway

brandonstills · 10-14-2008, 07:04 PM

Some languages / technologies I have my eye on are Factor, Erlang, and Seaside.

farkedup · 10-15-2008, 03:33 PM

it won't be replaced anytime in the next 10 years ;)

I have just started studying PHP, so it is pleasure to hear this from you!

tom3k · 10-21-2008, 05:46 AM

php isnt going anywhere.

iv coded in a number of server side languages over the years, and its got 3 things going for it:

a) free!
b) really easy
c) huge amount of current webapps / websites use it

Until something easier to code in, aswell as free comes along, php keeps its throne.

And yea, we could argue about whats easier or not, but speaking from personal experience, its easier coding in php then in perl, ruby or asp. I cant comment on any of ther other langs.

Working with PHP since years, and there are so many sites and scripts using it - it'll be around for a looooong time ;-) Actually, there's no better and faster way creating dynamic content out there in my opinion.

tsanghan · 10-22-2008, 11:39 PM

PHP will be around I think.. Perl slowly fell off the map.
