But who the hell is going to mantain it??
I do..
To quote Yoda "Control, You must learn Control..
Any language can give rise to large, unmanageable projects. If you discipline yourself, and your co-developers, you can keep it all in check. If you are so sure that 1,000,000+ lines of code will be exceedingly difficult to maintine, you can always create a code management system;->. I did. Point being, size doesn't matter.... At least that's what I was told.
if you allow error conditions to go untrapped....
True!
However, All programming languages have this exact flaw... The programmer!!
Any programmer worth his salt learns how to code to control error conditions. I am very experienced in Perl, PHP, C, Java, Javascript, etc.... They are all excelent languages, and give the programmer a plethora of debugging, and error handling choices.
Further, This whole argument is like two almost identical twins fighting over who works better at laying bricks. Java and PHP are both in my opinion languages that exist for the good of the IT world... unlike c# or MS.NET languages (no offense, but I hate having to pay little limp to program)....
anyway my two cents....
PHP by itself is a superfast scripting engine, both in installation and use
Amen brother! Add to the speed of PHP the ability to switch gears intermingle other languages and pretty much go nuts with the development of a project, and PHP becomes an awesome tool for any web development job out there... Unless ofcourse you want to simulate slow, hard to write, expensive coding, PHP doesn't do that so well.....;->
I don't know of any way to compile PHP code to a native executable.
No me either, however, PHP is so similar to Perl that if you are going to write an app in the former, you might as well do it in Perl and it does compile quite nicely.... Perl2exe is just awesome. There are however, several options available, and they are FREE!
