@IceWolf true statements, but I'm more of an actual static or cgi guy. On the rare occasion I need something more complex I write the javascript (don't do this of you need help, most professionals only know some frameworks). Php is just fun to rag on because so many weird things and bad decisions from the early days.  @Netux Haha, PHP is also CGI so! :3 Yeah we skipped all the early stuff, only picked up PHP fairly recently. Apparently it's massively improved with 7/8. |
@Netux PHP is actually pretty fuckin' awesome! It's supercharged templating, which makes it absolutely perfect when what you need is templating. My blog is 90% HTML with PHP include statements for all the boilerplate, a little loop for the homepage article list and the RSS feed, and that's...like...it. And from a visitor point of view it's indistinguishable from a static site, there's no client-side stuff involved at all.
And if you need more than just templating, it handles that, too. (We're currently trying to learn Symfony, and it's annoyingly overcomplicated but I'm pretty sure that's just frameworks in general.) Since it's all serverside it makes lightweight, usable pages by default, unlike every """modern""" Javascript framework.
