Whats the comparison between java and php?
Well, it may sound rude, but its not fair to compare two legends of the current Software Industry.
Both are good languages and hold strengths of their own...
both support OOPS, both have frameworks, and both are highly used in the real world.
There are some key things to consider before comparing java and php.
1) All Java programs need the necessary libraries to compile. For example, while working with files, a java program needs to import the io libraries and for date, you need util package classes.
But php is a precompiled language (as the name suggests, it is Hypertext Preprocessor). You dont need to import anything for all standard functionalities in your file.
2) People working on Java are called Java programmers, as they would be mostly involved in writing their own code in the module and contributing to the project. They are assigned a module independently and they are much focused on that single module.
Whereas people working on php are called php or web developers as they would be developing several modules needed for the website, which may not be coded by themselves, but also borrowed from the vast developer community. They can be parallely assigned multiple modules at a time.
3) Most of the websites in the world today are developed with php and mysql is used as the backend. PHP is mostly used for simple to complex websites, but rarely for enterprise level apps, as java has a better scope.
Java is mostly used with Oracle as the backend and java is preferable for enterprise level applications, though it can also be used for simple web sites.
4) When it comes to security, most of the people chose java than php. Though there are some drawbacks with the coders writing raw code in php, the security can be tightened with the help of careful validations.
5) When a client looks for the less cost and fast completion of his project, he may go for php than java. Especially in these days of recession, many companies have started opting php.

Java and PHP are the technologies which have bright future in market.
