RE: RE: PHP????

Scalability with PHP is hard. As I understand it, Yahoo! uses a C++ backend to do much of the work and uses PHP in the presentation tier. PHP doesn't even have connection pooling, so using it below the presentation tier seems to be a bad idea. Also, http://dada.perl.it/shootout/craps.html shows that Java is 35% faster at performing logic once you've gotten the data.

I agree that PHP is fine for simple personal web page type stuff, but for larger web applications, J2EE has established frameworks based on proven design patterns that increase productivity for development teams, and you can use it for everything above the data-server tier.
