I. Similar
- They are advance language, dinamic compile and set type.
- Open source
- Developer community is very large
- Easier to learn with Java, C or Perl
- Easier to expansion with Java C++
- Very portability, run on many platform without recompile code or fix code
II. Defference
1. Advantage of PHP:
- PHP inherit curly braces to mark code block of C and & sign of Perl
- switch and do…while statements
- =, ++ and — operator
- …?… : …. statement
- Very strong array, use for list and dictionary
- Referenced (‘$a =&$b’ : when $b had been change, $a will be change too)
- There are both private, protected and public access modifiers for methods and properties
- Using both abstract and final modifiers for classes and methods
- Interfaces
- $this is default object and don’t need to reverse ‘self’ to define method as Python
- Support to code multiline
- Diversity comment (#, /* */ or //)
2. Advantage of Python
- It’s a language for general purpose (Python can use to make almost things, when PHP only use in web develop or console. Of cource, PHP can use in other, but it’s trivial)
- Using indentation replace curly braces to mark code block. (Of cource, it’s more beautiful but it’s not friendly with HTML template of Web)
- There are namespaces and modules(PHP 5.3 have namespaces)
- Transfer variable to function more effective than PHP by key=value pair, better support for default value of variable transfer to function
- Apply to multi inheritance
- Instropection better than PHP Reflection
- Every thing from variable to object ares reference type
- There is Threading
- Document better than PHP (but certainly, it’s less TUT, Guide, comment,… than PHP)
- Can GUI programming (Of course PHP can but can not equal)
- Can run on .Net with IronPython or Java platform with Jython (PHP can also run on Java, even in all of Application Server)
- There are web server, private application server, 100% code by Python
- There are lambdas and support functions to build functions (PHP have create_function and closure)
- Cached byte-code (PHP also have, but not equal)
- Support unicode better than PHP
- Exception error control better
- Run faster than PHP (The truth is run faster but use more CPU and RAM)
