PHP vs Python : Which one is the Best Server-Side Programming?

-
PHP vs Python, the two most popular back-end programming languages. Python has the variety of dynamic features with simple script whereas PHP is specifically used for server-side by most of the developers.
But, What is the best choice? Are both good at server-side programming? A lot of doubts hit your brain when you try to learn the server-side programming. I wish this article will clear the indecision.

PHP vs Python – Which one to choose?

Python and PHP are two modern high-level languages, which are favorites among many developers. While comparing both the languages we need to consider its origin, the purpose of their existence, features, functionalities and so forth.

PHP vs Python: Origins and purpose of their existence

Python is older than PHP. It was created five years before the existence of Preprocessor-Hypertext. The language is created and developed by Guido Van Rossum in 1989. From the year 2000, its popularity among the developers rapidly grown due to its Unicode support. Moreover, Python is not only created for the web development, but it will support full-stack development. That is the reason, it is not widely used in web development.

Coming to the PHP, it was created in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf, he developed the wide variety of components and extensions. This programming language is solely and extensively used in web development.Almost every modern website is developed using PHP.

Better to note that, both are open-source and fastest growing programming languages. The number of communities around the world is actively participated in developing Python and PHP with new features and functionalities.Due to the active development, both languages are fresh and popular.
Now, let’s look at the similarities and differences of both programming languages based on their functionalities, features and so on.

Similarities between Python and PHP

Being the rivalries in the battlefield of programming, both have few common properties.The following are the similarities between Python and PHP.
  • Both are open – source and developed constantly by different communities around the world.
  • Simplicity and readability are the most common among them.
  • Python and PHP are known as Scripting programming languages.
  • Documentation for both languages is clearly defined.
  • The wide variety of frameworks and extensions are developed for Python and PHP.
  • Supports almost all IDEs among every operating system.
  • Both are rich in versatility and also portable.

Differences between Python and PHP

The battle shapes here among both languages.A quick look at its differences displayed below.
  • Python is aspect-oriented (the function modules are separated and integrated as per the application), whereas PHP is object-oriented (whole code is encompassed while developing itself).
  • PHP is tightly coded, Python is flexible.
  • Python supports full-stack development, PHP is widely used among back-end of websites.
  • PHP syntax is similar to C-language, where different symbols used to integrate the code, while Python is integrated using spaces and tabs rather than symbols.
  • Python exposed and associated to almost all technologies, whereas PHP is still used in web development.
  • Additional software security tools required for PHP to develop an application, but Python language itself consider as safest.
  • Additional packages are loaded into python development environment, while PHP automatically loads as per requirement.

So, which is best to choose for server-side programming?

After analyzing the similarities and differences among both languages gives you a conclusion that, each one is best at its own purpose. Python is developed for technologies and it supports every technology from basic application to Artificial Intelligence. Considering the PHP, it is solely developed for server-side Scripting, Web development and it is top in that chair. So, every language has its unique and wide variety of features and functionalities.
Therefore, PHP vs Python was not a big rivalry as everyone focused. Finally, whatever the language you are familiar with is the choice you should consider while diving into server-side programming. Any queries will be happily accepted in the comment box below.PHP vs Python, the two most popular back-end programming languages.

Basic Electronics - Types of Transformers

Coming to the classification of transformers, there are many types depending upon the core used, windings used, place and type of usage, voltage levels etc. Single and three phase transformers According to the supply used, the transformers are mainly classified as  Single phase  and  three phase  transformers. A normal transformer is a single phase transformer. It has a primary and a secondary winding and it is operated to either decrease or increase the secondary voltage. For a three phase transformer, three primary windings are connected together and three secondary windings are connected together. A single three phase transformer is preferred to three single phase transformers so as to get good efficiency, where it occupies less space at low cost. But due to the transportation problem of heavy equipment, single phase transformers are used in most cases. Another classification of these transformers is  Core  and  Shell  type. ...

Basic Electronics - MOSFET

FETs have a few disadvantages like high drain resistance, moderate input impedance and slower operation. To overcome these disadvantages, the MOSFET which is an advanced FET is invented. MOSFET stands for Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistor or Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor. This is also called as IGFET meaning Insulated Gate Field Effect Transistor. The FET is operated in both depletion and enhancement modes of operation. The following figure shows how a practical MOSFET looks like. Construction of a MOSFET The construction of a MOSFET is a bit similar to the FET. An oxide layer is deposited on the substrate to which the gate terminal is connected. This oxide layer acts as an insulator (sio 2  insulates from the substrate), and hence the MOSFET has another name as IGFET. In the construction of MOSFET, a lightly doped substrate, is diffused with a heavily doped region. Depending upon the substrate used, they are called as  P-type  and...

’பிக் பாஸ் 2’ - நாள் மூன்று: வெங்காயப் பஞ்சாயத்து

2 நாட்களாக சப்பென்று சென்று கொண்டிருந்த ’பிக் பாஸ் 2’ நேற்றுதான் சற்று சூடு பிடிக்கத் தொடங்கியது என்று கூறலாம். ஒரு வெங்காயத்துக்கு இவ்ளோ பெரிய பஞ்சாயத்தா என்று எண்ணுமளவுக்கு காய்ச்சி விட்டார்கள் மும்தாஜும் நித்யாவும். காலையில் ’சொடக்கு மேல சொடக்கு போடுது’ பாடல் ஒலிக்க ஆரம்பித்ததும் மமதி, பாலாஜி உள்ளிட்ட சிலர் உட்கார்ந்தபடியே தூங்கி வழிய மற்றவர்கள் எழுந்து குத்தாட்டம் போடத் தொடங்கி விட்டனர் பொன்னம்பலம் உட்பட. பாடல் முடிந்ததும் ’நள்ளிரவில் மெயின் கதவு பூட்டப்பட்டு விட்டதால்’ தான் ஒன் பாத்ரூம் போக சிரமப்பட்டு குப்பைக்கூடையைத் தூக்கிக்கொண்டு ஓடியதையும் கலகலப்பாக சொல்லி முடித்தார் பொன்னம்பலம். ஆட்டத்திலும், கேமராவைப் பார்த்து பேசுவதிலும், கேமராவைக் காதலிப்பதாகச் சொல்வதிலும் ஓவியாவை நகலெடுக்க முயற்சித்தார் ஐஸ்வர்யா. ஃபீலா பீலா என்பதுதான் நேற்றைய லக்ஸரி பட்ஜெட் டாஸ்க். அதாவது வீட்டில் இருப்பவர்கள் இரண்டு குழுவாகப் பிரிந்துகொள்ள வேண்டும். ஒரு குழு கதை சொல்ல வேண்டும். இன்னொரு குழு அந்தக் கதை உண்மையா? பொய்யா? என்று கண்டுபிடிக்க வேண்டும். இதுதான் டாஸ்க். இதைச் செய்து முடித்தா...
