With regards to "nullptr" and "void*"...

php just doesn't have an equivalent, because php does not allow manual memory management.

Really this is a pointless discussion from my point of view. php and C or C++ are not comparable languages in almost every conceivable way.

A more useful questions might be: When would using either language make sense:

Would I write a server side webapp in C or C++? Prob not. Like using a tank to squash an ant.
